TheConsumer ReportsRestaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains.One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for a local newspaper thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located in her city. The reporter selected a sample of eight seafood restaurants, eight Italian restaurants, and eight steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled.

Italian- 12, 14, 15, 17, 17, 20, 17, 24

Seafood -17, 19, 18, 26, 22, 14, 19, 17

Steakhouse - 23, 19, 23, 25, 22, 23, 26, 31

Use= 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: At least two of the population means are equal. H_a: At least two of the population means are different.

H₀: Not all the population means are equal. H_a:_Italian=_Seafood=_Steakhouse

H₀:_{ItalianSeafoodSteakhouse} H_a:_Italian=_Seafood=_Steakhouse

H₀:_Italian=_Seafood=_Steakhouse H_a: Not all the population means are equal.

H₀:_Italian=_Seafood=_Steakhouse H_a:_{ItalianSeafoodSteakhouse}
