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? H0: - Select your answer - Ha: - Select your answer - The member of the hotel's accounting staff suspects that the total charges for guest bills have Select in recent months. To test the manager’s claim, the staff member will conduct Select test of the population Select . (b) What conclusion is appropriate when H0 cannot be rejected? When H0 cannot be rejected, there Select enough evidence to conclude that the total charges for guest bills have Select in recent months. (c) What conclusion is appropriate when H0 can be rejected? When H0 can be rejected, there Select enough evidence to conclude that the total charges for guest bills have Select in recent m

a) Null hypothesis (H0): the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600.

Alternative hypothesis (Ha): the mean guest bill for a weekend is significantly bigger than $600.

b) When H0 can not be rejected, the conclusion is that there is no enough evidence to claim that the mean guest bill had increased from $600.

c) When the H0 is rejected, they have enough evidence to claim that the mean guest bill is significantly bigger than $600.  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The accountant, as he wants to see if there is evidence to support the claim that the mean guest bill has increased significanty, should write the hypothesis like that:

Null hypothesis (H0): the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600.

Alternative hypothesis (Ha): the mean guest bill for a weekend is significantly bigger than $600.

A sample of bills of the period in study needs to be taken in order to have a representation of the actual population of bills and then perform a t-test, as the sample mean and standard deviation will be used to perform the test.

b) When H0 can not be rejected, the conclusion is that there is no enough evidence to claim that the mean guest bill had increased from $600. If the P-value was low but not enough, they may take another sample to perform the test again or leave it like that.

c) When the H0 is rejected, they have enough evidence to claim that the mean guest bill is significantly bigger than $600.
