IV. Illustrate the steps of hypothesis testing using the problem below.
Happy Party, a chairs and table rental company claims that the average number of chairs rented
in a party is 250 chairs. A sample of 20 rentals has an average of 230 chairs with a standard
deviation of 20. At α =0.05, is there enough evidence to reject Happy Party’s claim? Note: Using
the critical value of the t–distribution, the critical value = 2.093 (two-tailed), if df = 19 (n-1).

Steps in Hypothesis Testing

Step 1. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho- The average number of chairs rented in a party is not equal to 250 chairs.
H1- The average number of chairs rented in a party is equal to 250 chairs.

Step 2. Set the level of significance

The level of significance is α =0.05.

Step 3. Select the appropriate test statistics.

The appropriate test statistics is a t-test because the sample population is less than 30.

Step 4. Establish the critical (rejection) region

Using a t-distribution table, critical values of t, with a level of significance of 0.05 and degree of
freedom of 19 the critical value for this two-tailed test is ±2.093.

Step 5. Compute the value of the test statistics from the sample data.

t= ±4.47
The t value is greater than the critical value and the test value have fallen into the critical region.

Step 6. State your conclusion

Reject the hypothesis because the value falls into the critical region or area in the two-tailed test.
