Question

Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original claim. 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.

Answer 1

There is no sufficient evidence to support the owner's claim that he average attendance at games is over 523

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is
`\mu = 523`

Generally

The null hypothesis is
`H_o : \mu = 523`

The alternative hypothesis
`H_a : \mu > 523` ( Original claim )

Given in the question that the conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis

Then we can conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the owner's claim that he average attendance at games is over 523

Note : In every hypothesis test the null hypothesis must contain a equality sign and any other inequality sign
