Answer:
(a) Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \leq[/tex] $600
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > $600
(b) When H0 cannot be rejected, we conclude that the manager's claim is correct.
(c) When H0 can be rejected, we conclude that the manager's claim is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the manager of the Danvers-Hilton Resort Hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.
The accountant will use a sample of weekend guest bills to test the manager's claim.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean guest bill for a weekend
(a) Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \leq[/tex] $600
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > $600
Here null hypothesis states that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.
On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean guest bill for a weekend is more than $600.
(b) When the null hypothesis ([tex]H_0[/tex]) cannot be rejected, then the correct conclusion would be: We conclude that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less which means that the manager's claim is correct.
(c) When the null hypothesis ([tex]H_0[/tex]) can be rejected, then the correct conclusion would be: We conclude that the mean guest bill for a weekend is more than $600 which means that the manager's claim is wrong.
