Question

A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,900 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,950 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 225 bus miles.

 

a. Is there evidence that the population mean bus miles is more than
3,900 bus​ miles? (Use a 0.10 level of​ significance.)
 
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
 
H0​: μ ___ _____H1​: μ ____ _____
 
 
​(Type integers or​ decimals.)
 
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
 
tSTAT=______
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
The critical​ value(s) for the test statistic​ is(are) _____
 
​(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)
 
Is there sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis using
α=0.10​?
 
 
A.
Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient
evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than 3,900 bus miles.
 
B. Do not reject
the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.10
level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than
3,900 bus miles.
 
C. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient
evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the population mean bus miles is less than 3,900 bus miles.
 
D. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.10
level of significance that the population mean bus miles is less than 3,900
bus miles.
