Suppose U.S. monetary policy will be set by the Federal Reserve Board by examining the median consumer price, μ‾, for a large fixed set of common commodities. The Board will raise the interest rate if there is evidence that the median price is less than $125.50.
A random sample of counties will be obtained, and the cost of these goods in each county will be used to test the relevant hypothesis. State H0 and Ha in terms of μ‾.
