A magazine editor was wondering if the number of ads in the magazine had gone up in the past few years. Historically, the magazine has had a mean of 85 ads per issue with a standard deviation of 11 ads per issue. The editor randomly selected 10 magazines from the last two years and counted the ads.
The editor conducts a one-mean hypothesis at the 5% significance level to test if the average number of ads in a magazine is greater than 85 ads.
(a) H0: μ = 85; Ha: μ > 85, which is a right-tailed test.
(b) z0 = 1.667, p-value = 0.048.
(c) Which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test? Select all that apply.
We reject H0.
We fail to reject H0.
At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average number of ads in a magazine is greater than 85 ads.
At the 5% significance level, the data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average number of ads in a magazine is greater than 85 ads.
