Complete the statistical test for the hypothesis that the average age of customers who buy a BMX bicycle is 47 or less. What is the p-value for the test and for a given significance level of 0.05, would you reject the null hypothesis? Use the Task 5-8 worksheet as your work area. Select your answer from the drop down in cell B1

Step 1
- Null Hypothesis (H0): The average age of customers who buy a BMX bicycle is 47 or less. (H0: μ ≤ 47) - Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The average age of customers who buy a BMX bicycle is greater than 47. (H1: μ > 47) Show more…

The ages (in years) of randomly selected race car drivers are given on the right (based on data reported by USA Today: July 15, 2010). For this sample data, the mean age and standard deviation are 7.67 years. Use a significance level of 0.05 to test the claim that the mean age of all race car drivers is greater than 30. Assume that the population of drivers' ages is normally distributed. What hypotheses are necessary for the test? H0: μ ≤ 30 (null hypothesis) H1: μ > 30 (alternative hypothesis) What is the test statistic? t = 1.818 Find the critical value or the P-value? P-value = 0.0453 (critical value = 3.005) What is the conclusion about the hypotheses? Explain. We reject the null hypothesis because the P-value is smaller than the significance level of 0.05. What is the conclusion about the claim? The claim that the mean age of all race car drivers is greater than 30 is supported by the evidence.

Listed below are the ages (years) of randomly selected race car drivers. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean age of all race car drivers is less than 30 years. 32, 32, 33, 33, 41, 29, 38, 32, 33, 23, 27, 45, 52, 29, 25 a. State the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form b. Use the calculator to run the hypothesis test. What is the P - value? c. State your decision about the null hypothesis based on comparing P - value with significance level. d. State your conclusion about the claim.

A car company has made attracting younger customers a priority. Prior to a recent ad campaign aimed at younger customers, the average age of the company's customers was 52 years old. After running the ad campaign, the company collected information on the ages of its new customers. The car company conducts a one-mean hypothesis test at the 5% significance level to test whether the mean customer age is less than 52 years old. (a) H0: μ = 52; Ha: μ < 52, which is a left-tailed test. (b) The ages of a random sample of 20 customers are shown in the following table. Use Excel to test whether the mean customer age is less than 52 years old. Identify the test statistic, t, rounding to two decimal places, and p-value, rounding to three decimal places from the Excel output. Age (years) 51 64 29 51 51 44 42 38 47 57 56 37
