H0: Hotel bookings for Mac users through Orbitz are not higher than PC users
H1: Hotel bookings for Mac users through Orbitz are higher than PC users


Using Mac users W = 5.5 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23.5 + 23.5 + 25 + 26 = 224.5.
nT = n1 + n2 = 12 + 14 = 26
zW =  =  =  = 3.21
p-value = P(x ≥ zW )
p-value = P(x ≥ 3.21) = 1.0 - 0.9993 = 0.0007
Because our p-value (0.0007) is less than α = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. We have enough evidence to conclude that the median hotel price for Mac users on Orbitz is higher than for PC users.
