Suppose that we randomly select 50 billing statements from each of the computer databases of the Hotel A, the Hotel B, and the Hotel C chains, and record the nightly room rates. The means and standard deviations for the data are given in the table. Hotel C Hotel A Hotel B 155 17.7 180 115 Sample Average (s) Sample Standard Deviation 22.4 12.5 (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average room rates for the Hotel A and the Hotel B chains. (Use Hotel A - Hotel B. Round your answers to two decimal places.) $ to s (b) Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the average room rates for the Hotel B and the Hotel C chains. (Use Hotel B- Hotel C. Round your answers to two decimal places.) $ to s (c) Do the intervals in parts (a) and (b) contain the value (₁-₂)=0? O Yes, the interval in part (a) contains (₂-₂) = 0. O Yes, the interval in part (b) contains (₁-₂) = 0. O Yes, both intervals contain (#₁ - ₂) = 0. O No, neither interval contains (₁-H₂) = 0. Why is this of interest to the researcher? ○ If (H₁-H₂) = 0 is contained in the confidence interval, it is implied that the average room rate for the two hotels was $0. If (H₂-H₂) = 0 is contained in the confidence interval, it is implied that we cannot conclude there is a difference in the average room rates for the two hotels. ○ If (H₁-H₂) = 0 is contained in the confidence interval, it is implied that the room rate for one of the hotels was $0. If (H₂-H₂) = 0 is contained in the confidence interval, it is implied that there was an error in the database records. If (H₁-H₂) = 0 is contained in the confidence interval, it is implied that there is a difference in the average room rates for the two hotels.
