Discuss the below:
Create a one-sample hypothesis test using Megastat.
The mean arrival rate of flights at O'Hare Airport in marginal weather is 195 flights per hour. To increase arrivals, a new air traffic control procedure is implemented. In the next 30 days of marginal weather the following arrival rates were obtained
210, 215, 200, 189, 200, 213, 202, 181, 197, 199, 193, 209,2 15, 192, 179, 196, 225, 199, 196, 210 ,199, 188, 174, 176, 202, 195, 195, 208, 222, 221
Carry out the test and make the decision.
Megastat Procedure:
Make sure input data is checked but not summary information.
For input range scroll your excel data
For hypothesized mean enter 195
For Alternative, select greater than
At the bottom make sure that z-test is checked
Make sure to uncheck Display
Set up a right-tailed decision rule at ? =0.025
