Question

the owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 561, 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.

Answer 1

In non-technical terms, if the conclusion of the hypothesis test is a failure to reject the null hypothesis regarding the owner's claim, it means that there is not enough statistical evidence to support the claim that the average attendance at games is over 561. Therefore, the owner does not have sufficient justification to move the team to a city with a larger stadium based on this claim.
