The manager of the Danvers-Hilton Resort Hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less. A member of the hotel's accounting staff noticed that the total charges for guest bills have been increasing in recent months. The accountant will use a sample of future weekend guest bills to test the manager's claim. a. Which form of the hypotheses should be used to test the manager's claim? H 0: less than or equal to $600 H a: greater than $600 b. When H 0 cannot be rejected, can we conclude that the manager's claim is wrong? No c. When H 0 can be rejected, can we conclude that the manager's claim is wrong? Yes

Here, the null hypothesis is the claim, that mean guest bill is $600 or less ; The alternative will be the opposite of the null which is the counterclaim. This ubstge accountants assertion that guest bill has been increasing

Hence,

H0 : μ ≤ 600

H1 : μ > 600

When the null cannot be rejected, that means there is no sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis, Hence, we stick with the manager's claim

When H0 can be rejected, then there is sufficient evidence to support, the accountant's claim. Thus, we go with the accountant's claim and conclude that the manager is wrong.
