A large hotel would like to examine if the spend on dinner differs between their North American and European customers. For the North American visitors the data was as follows: n = 19 mean = 75.00 standard deviation = 6 For the European visitors the data was as follows: n = 21 mean = 80.00 standard deviation = 6 You are tasked with carrying out a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level to assess whether North American's spend more than Europeans.

Step 1
The null hypothesis (H0) is that there is no difference in the spend on dinner between North American and European customers. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that North American customers spend more on dinner than European customers. Show more…

A restaurant association says the typical household in the U.S. spends a mean amount of more than $2628 per year on food eaten away from home. You are a consumer reporter and wish to test this claim. A random sample of 36 U.S. households has a mean amount spent away from home of $2713 with a standard deviation of $322. Perform the appropriate hypothesis test at α = 0.05. Note: Round your data to at least 3 decimal places.

Suppose we would like to determine if the typical amount spent per customer for dinner at a new restaurant in town is more than $20.00. A sample of 49 customers over a three-week period was randomly selected and the average amount spent was $22.60. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be $2.50. Using a 0.02 level of significance, would we conclude the typical amount spent per customer is more than $20.00?
