It is believed that the average amount of money spent per U. S. household per week on food is about $98, with standard deviation $10. A random sample of 100 households in a certain affluent community yields a mean weekly food budget of $100. We want to test the hypothesis that the mean weekly food budget for all households in this community is higher than the national average. Are the results significant at the 5% level?

    yes, we can reject the hypothesis

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The null hypothesis

    H0 = mean weekly food budget for all households in this community is $98

    Let's find z

    z = (x - mean) / standard deviation / √sample size

    z = (100 - 98) / 10 / √100

    z = 2

    Using a Z table we can find probability

    P (z>2) = 0.0228

    Since P < α, results are significant and we can reject the hypothesis
