Published: March 8th, 2013

Category: Activity 2: Did I Get This?

The following two hypotheses are tested:

  • Ho: The average number of miles driven per year is 12,000.
  • Ha: The average number of miles driven per year is less than 12,000.

In a survey, 1,600 randomly selected drivers were asked the number of miles they drive yearly. Based upon the results, the p-value = 0.068.

Comment: Throughout this activity use a 0.05 (5%) significance level (cutoff).
