You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question.

A travel association reported the domestic airfare (in dollars) for business travel for the current year and the previous year. Below is a sample of 12 flights with their domestic airfares shown for both years.

Current Year Previous Year
345 315
526 463
420 462
216 206
285 263
405 432
635 585
710 650
605 545
517 547
570 496
610 580

(a)Formulate the hypotheses and test for a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

a) H0: d 0

Ha: d = 0

b) H0: d < 0

Ha: d = 0

c) H0: d = 0

Ha: d 0

d) H0: d 0

Ha: d < 0

f) H0: d 0

Ha: d > 0

Calculate the test statistic. (Use current year airfare previous year airfare. Round your answer to three decimal places.)..........?

Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

p-value =.....?

Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?

Reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

Do not reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

Reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

(b)What is the sample mean domestic airfare (in dollars) for business travel for each year?

current $ ........?

previous $.....?

(c)What is the percentage change in mean airfare for the one-year period? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

........%?
