Question

Apartment Rental Fees:

The data shown are the rental fees (in dollars) for two random samples of apartments in a large city.

At a=0.10, can it be concluded that the average rental fee for apartments in the east is greater than the average rental fee in the West?

Can it be concluded that the average rental fee for apartments in the east is greater than the average rental fee in the west?

                        EAST                                                                          WEST

275     450     440    425     675                  400      475    430     410     450

625     390     485    550    650                    425      450    620    500     400

685    385     450     550     425                    295       350    300   360     400

a). ( use minitab to run the A-D Tests of Normality) Report p Values, and Conclusions

b). State the null and alternative hypothesis, Report the test statistics, Report the degree of freedom, and the p value.

c). State your conclusion

Explanation / Answer

Using minitab:

Two-Sample T-Test and CI: East, West

Two-sample T for East vs West

SE
N Mean StDev Mean
East 40 477 119 19
West 40 437 103 16


Difference = (East) - (West)
Estimate for difference: 40.1
95% lower bound for difference: -1.5
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs >): T-Value = 1.61 P-Value = 0.056 DF = 76

P-value < alpha we reject null hypothesis.

we have sufficient evidence to conclude mean 1 is greater than mean 2.

EAST Data:

P-value of AD test 0.163. which is greater than 0.1 so data is normal.

WEST Data: Anderson-Darling Normality Test: 2.09

P-value <0.005 using AD test we p-value is smaller so Data is not normal for West data
