Test the hypothesis that the mean household income in NY State is less than that in NJ at = 0.01 and answer the following questions: The hypothesis test is:... The standard error of difference is The test statistic is... The Decision is to.... The Margin of Error is The confidence Interval is New York New Jersey Stat Mean $55,603 5000 40 $69,811 7000 40

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Two sample Z summary confidence interval:
1 : Mean of population 1 (Std. dev. = 5000)
2 : Mean of population 2 (Std. dev. = 7000)
1 - 2 : Difference between two means

Hypothesis test results:

99% confidence interval results:

Hence,

Hypothesis test is: z test

Standard error: 1360.1471 [Rounded off to 4 decimal places]

Test statistic = -10.45

Decision: Reject Ho

Margin of Error = 3503.507 [Rounded off to 3 decimal places]

Confidence interval: (-17711.507, -10704.493)

Difference n1 n2 Sample mean Std. err. Z-stat P-value 1 - 2 40 40 -14208 1360.1471 -10.445929 <0.0001
