Question

The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 523, and he is therefore justified in moving the team to a city with a larger stadium. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.A There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is less than 523. B) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523. C) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523. D) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is less than 523.

Answer 1

The conclusion in nontechnical terms is that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion in nontechnical terms for failing to reject the null hypothesis in a hypothesis test is:

C) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523.

This means that based on the data and the hypothesis test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the average attendance at games is over 523. Therefore, the owner of the football team is not justified in moving the team to a city with a larger stadium.

Answer 2

C) There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean attendance is greater than 523.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ be the the average attendance at games of the football team

The claim: the average attendance at games is over 523

Null and alternative hypotheses are:

• 
  `H_(0)`: μ=523

• 
  `H_(a)`: μ>523

The conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that test statistic is lower than critical value. Therefore it is not significant, there is no significant evidence to accept the alternative hypothesis.

That is no significant evidence that the average attendance at games of the football team is greater than 523.
