Use this set-up for Problems 48-52:   As of April 5, 2021, the average cost of a wedding in Missouri was determined to be $20,058 (according to valuepenguin.com). Suppose the population standard deviation of wedding costs is $7,500. To determine if the average cost of a wedding in Illinois is more than Missouri, you decide to take a sample of 36 weddings and perform a hypothesis test. Suppose your simple random sample had an average cost of $22,333. You decide to use a significance level of 0.05. What hypotheses would be used to determine if the average cost of a wedding in Illinois is more than the average in Missouri?

For samples consisting of 100 students each…   The shape of the sampling distribution for the average commute times would be:

Use this set-up for Problems 13-17: A weighted or unfair die is one in which all outcomes are not equally likely when rolled. To determine the probabilities of each outcome, a weighted die was rolled 1,000 times and the relative frequency of occurrence is used as the probability. These probabilities are listed in the probability distribution table below: Outcome Probability 1 0.103 2 0.204 3 0.055 4 0.245 5 _____? 6 0.220   What kind of probability is displayed and what allows us to estimate it this way?

Use this set-up for Problems 35-36: Based on a sample of 245 UMSL students, a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of UMSL students who live on campus was calculated to be (0.15, 0.25).   Which of the following could be the true value of p, the proportion of all UMSL students who live on campus?
