Kavita has been assigned the task of studying the average customer receipt for a branch of a major restaurant chain. The average receipt for the chain is $72.00 with a standard deviation of $11.00. The branch she is studying has an average bill of $67.00 for the last 40 receipts. She needs to know if this falls below the chain’s average. She will use a 1% level for significance because she does not want to inadvertently report the restaurants income as below average.Upper-Tail Valuesa5%2.5%1%Critical z-values1.651.962.58Which choice depicts the result for Kavita’s hypothesis test?

Car insurance companies want to keep track of the average cost per claim. The current data in use for Auto Insurance R Us is an average of $2,200 for each claim with a standard deviation of $500. With this average, the company can stay competitive with rates but not lose money. However, the statistician for the company believes that the cost of the average claim has increased. He pulled 40 recent claims and found the average to be $2,350. Which most restrictive level of significance would suggest that the company should raise rates?
