La Quinta Motor Inns developed a computer model to help predict the profitability of sites that are being considered as locations for new hotels. If the computer model predicts large profits, La Quinta buys the proposed site and builds a new hotel. If the computer model predicts small or moderate profits, La Quinta chooses not to proceed with that site (Extracted from S. E. Kimes and J. A. Fitzsimmons, Selecting Profitable Hotel Sites at La Quinta Motor Inns, Interfaces, Vol. 20, March April 1990, pp. 12 20). This decision-making procedure can be expressed in the hypothesis-testing framework. The null hypothesis is that the site is not a profitable location. The alternative hypothesis is that the site is a profitable location.
