Question 103

The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies has been $2.20 per gallon.Because of cost reduction measures, it is believed that there has been a significant reduction in the average price.In order to test this belief, we randomly selected a sample of 36 of the company's gas stations and determined that the average price for the stations in the sample was $2.14.Assume that the standard deviation of the population (σ) is $0.12. a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses. b. Compute the test statistic. c. What is the p-value associated with the above sample results? d. Using α = .05, test the company's claim.
