The accompanying data represent the total travel tax (in dollars) for a 3-day business trip in 8 randomly selected cities. A normal probability plot suggests the data could come from a population that is normally distributed. A boxplot indicates there are no outliers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. \[ 68.99 \quad 78.49 \quad 67.14 \quad 84.53 \quad 80.81 \] (a) Determine a point estimate for the population mean travel tax. A point estimate for the population mean travel tax is \( \$ \).

You wish to test the following claim \( \left(H_{a}\right) \) at a significance level of \( \alpha=0.05 \) \[ \begin{array}{l}H_{o}: \mu=72.3 \\ H_{a}: \mu \neq 72.3\end{array} \] You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obta a sample of size \( n=5 \) with mean \( M=78.2 \) and a standard deviation of \( S D=18.8 \). What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) -value \( =\square \)

5 The mean age for first 13 voters at Zwide Voting Station, is 40 and the standard deviation is 5. Comment by refering to the standard deviations on how the ages at Zwide Station compare to those at Dingiswayo Station.

You wish to test the following claim \( \left(H_{a}\right) \) at a significance level of \( \alpha=0.10 \). \[ \begin{array}{l}H_{o}: \mu=51.7 \\ H_{a}: \mu<51.7\end{array} \] You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obt: a sample of size \( n=23 \) with mean \( M=45.5 \) and a standard deviation of \( S D=14.1 \). What is the p -value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p -value \( =\square \)

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300 . An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the \( 96 \% \) confidence interval to 25 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.
