The manager of the Danvers-Hilton Resort Hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less. A member of the hotel’s accounting staff noticed that the total charges for guest bills have been increasing in recent months. The accountant will use a sample of

weekend guest bills to test the manager’s claim.

a. Which form of the hypotheses should be used to test the manager’s claim? Explain.

1) H0:μ ≥ 600

Ha:μ < 600

2) H0:μ ≤ 600

Ha:μ > 600

3) H0:μ=600

Ha:μ≠600

b. What conclusion is appropriate when H0 cannot be rejected?

c. What conclusion is appropriate when H0 can be rejected?

Solution:

a) the hypotheses should be used to test the manager’s claim is

H0:μ ≤ 600

Ha:μ > 600

This is because the already known or assumed mean guest bill for a weekend is 600 or less. This forms the null hypothesis. The alternative is the opposite of the null hypothesis. Since the alternative states that it is increasing, the sign,> would be used.

b) If H0 cannot be rejected, it means that there is no sufficient evidence to reject H0 at the given level of significance.

c) if H0 can be rejected, it means that there is sufficient evidence to reject H0 at the given level of significance.
