Answer :
Answer: answer is A- we reject the alternative hypothesis and conclude that the mean weekly food budget for households in this community is not significantly different than $98 at the 1% level, because the p-value is less than 1%.
b) . t= 1.72
Step-by-step explanation:
a) testing at 1% level of significance means we accept the null hypothesis then reject the alternative hypothesis when the value of p is less than 0.01.....Option A is correct
b) Critical value for t= t.., n - 1, where n =23 and alpha (..)= .005
t 0.05, 22 = 1.72
Therefore, we will only reject the null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than 1.72 since it is a right-tailed test.
