Business Statistics

Project Week 6

1. For each of the 2 majors, conduct a full hypothesis test at the 5% significance level:

The mean ‘Cost’ for a college is $160,000.

The average ’30-Year ROI’ for Business majors is less than for Engineering Majors.

2. In a highlighted box, explain how each hypothesis test contributes to the central question of which major would give the better ROI. Why do we need hypothesis testing? Isn't it enough to look at the sample of 20 schools and look at those numbers? What exactly does hypothesis testing do that looking at the numbers in the sample and saying "one is higher than the other" cannot do? This understanding is critical to your Week 8 project. It demonstrates that you know why you have to have hypothesis testing as opposed to looking at the mean, median, and mode from the sample and “call it a day.”
