a)

H_o = The vacancy rates are normally distributed with a mean of 9% and standard
deviation of 3.6%

H_a = The vacancy rates are not normally distributed with a mean of 9% and
standard deviation of 3.6%

b)

Calculate the value of test statistic.

Construct the table

2 4.8098

C)

Calculate the P-value

P 02 4.8098 1 P 02 4.8098
1 0.81
0.19
P value 0.19 0.05
0.10 p value 0.20
Hence, 4th Option is correct.

d)

Do not reject H_o: there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the
vacancy rates are normally distributed

e)

No
