Need help with this question please.
John is the Mayor of New York and is seeking reelection. His opponent is running on the platform of making the city safe and especially targeting the murder rate. The national average number of murders is 450. The number of murders in New York has averaged 520 with a standard deviation = 75 (sample size = 1,000). Conduct a 5-step hypothesis testing process to determine if this is a significant difference between New York and the population of 450 using a significance level of 0.01. a. Step 1 a.Step 1 b.Step 2 c.Step 3 d.Step 4 e. Step 5
Solution
Set Up Hypothesis
 Null Hypothesis H0: U=450
 Alternate Hypothesis H1: U!=450
 Test Statistic
 Population Mean(U)=450
 Given That X(Mean)=520
 Standard Deviation(S.D)=75
 Number (n)=1000
 we use Test Statistic (Z) = x-U/(s.d/Sqrt(n))
 Zo=520-450/(75/Sqrt(1000)
 Zo =29.5146
 | Zo | =29.5146
 Critical Value
 The Value of |Z | at LOS 0.01% is 2.58
 We got |Zo| =29.5146 & | Z  | =2.58
 Make Decision
 Hence Value of | Zo | > | Z | and Here we Reject Ho
 P-Value : Two Tailed ( double the one tail ) - Ha : ( P != 29.5146 ) = 0
 Hence Value of P0.01 > 0, Here we Reject Ho
We have significant difference between New York and the population of 450
