John, an experienced Airbnb host claims that true average rental price per night for a shared room in lower east side of Manhattan is $100. A sample of 15 shared room rentals from the neighborhood yields a sample average price per night of $85 with a standard deviation $17 (source: Kaggle.com). Suppose the distribution of price per night is normally distributed. Is there sufficient evidence to believe that average price per night for a shared room in Manhattan's lower east side is less than what John claims? (Use 5% significance level)? 1. (4 points) Clearly state the null and alternative hypothesis to answer the above research question. Define any parameters you may use. 2. (2 points) Check the conditions that needs to be satisfied in order to do the test you stated in part 1.

The average cost of a hotel room in New York is said to be $150 per night. To determine if this is true, a random sample of 30 hotels was taken and the results are shown in the table below. Test the appropriate hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05.

Reis, Inc., a New York real estate research firm, tracks the cost of apartment rentals in the United States. In mid- 2002 , the nationwide mean apartment rental rate was $\$ 895$ per month (The Wall Street Journal, July 8,2002 ). Assume that, based on the historical quarterly surveys, a population standard deviation of $\sigma=\$ 225$ is reasonable. In a current study of apartment rental rates, a sample of 180 apartments nationwide provided the apartment rental rates shown in the CD file named RentalRates. Do the sample data enable Reis to conclude that the population mean apartment rental rate now exceeds the level reported in $2002 ?$ a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. What is the $p$ -value? c. $\quad$ At $\alpha=.01,$ what is your conclusion? d. What would you recommend Reis consider doing at this time?
A survey carried out by John claims that the average cost of living for households in City 1 is more than that in City 2: City 1 City 2 x1 = 164 x2 = 159 σ1 = 12.50 σ2 = 9.25 n1 = 35 n2 = 30 (a) Specify the competing hypotheses to test John's claim. [4 marks] (b) Calculate the value of the test statistic. [5 marks] (c) At the 5% significance level, is John's claim supported by the data? Explain [9 marks]
