DATAfile: ResidentialWater

On its municipal website, the city of Tulsa states that the rate it charges per 5 CCF of residential water is $21.62. How do the residential water rates of other U.S. public utilities compare to Tulsa's rate? The data shown below ($) contains the rate per 5 CCF of residential water for 42 randomly selected U.S. cities.

10.48	9.18	11.8	6.5	12.42	14.53	15.56
10.12	14.5	16.18	17.6	19.18	17.98	12.85

26.99	24.68	37.86	26.51	39.01	29.46	41.65

(a)

Formulate hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the population mean rate per 5 CCF of residential water charged by U.S. public utilities differs from the $21.62 rate charged by Tulsa. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)

H₀:

H_a:

(b)

What is the test statistic for your hypothesis test in part (a)? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

What is thep-value for your hypothesis test in part (a)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)

At ? = 0.05, can your null hypothesis be rejected? What is your conclusion?
