1. 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? a). Write the hypotheses. b). Calculate test statistic c). Compare pvalue with significance level d). Make your clear decision.

00, i.e., μ = $20.00. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the typical amount spent per customer is more than $20.00, i.e., μ > $20.00. b) Calculate the test statistic: The test statistic for a hypothesis test about a population mean, when the population Show more…

The data below give the amounts that a sample of nine customers spent for lunch ($) at a fast-food restaurant: 4.20 5.03 5.86 6.45 7.38 7.54 8.46 8.47 9.87 a.) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean amount spent for lunch is different from $6.50? b.) Compute the p-value for this test and interpret its meaning. c.) What (if any) assumption must you make about the population distribution to conduct the test in part (a)?

Waiting times (in hours) at a popular restaurant are believed to be approximately normally distributed with a variance of 2.25 during busy periods. a. A sample of 20 customers revealed a mean waiting time of 1.52 hours. Construct the $95 \%$ confidence interval for the population mean. b. Suppose that the mean of 1.52 hours had resulted from a sample of 32 customers. Find the $95 \%$ confidence interval. c. What effect does a larger sample size have on the confidence interval?
