According to a report by the U.S. government, the price of a six-pack of beer in the United States is $5 on average.

According to research at www.cesar.umd.edu, increasing the price of alcohol reduces drinking and alcohol-related problems, including accidents, violence, and disease. The state of Maryland's beer taxes are among the highest in the nation.

So , ....You want to test this idea that Maryland has more expensive beer so you take a random sample of 145 six-packs of beer from stores in Prince George's County and find that the average price is $5.13 with a standard deviation of $ 0.5.

Is the price of beer significantly more expensive in Maryland than elsewhere in the United States?

Use an alpha of .05 and remember to state each of the steps in your test.
