A researcher believes that the average cost of a Statistics workbook is PHP 180. She samples 30 workbooks and calculates the mean of the sample to be PHP 205. Does this value warrant the conclusion that the average cost of workbooks is greater than PHP 180?
The mean population might be higher than PHP 180.
The true average of the population of all workbooks might indeed be PHP 180.
No, there is insufficient information. The population might be lower than PHP 180.
No, there is insufficient information. The population might be larger than PHP 180.
