last two

a) Males of the Costa Rican three-wattled bellbird are the loudest birds in the
world. Their bell-like mating song can be heard from over half a mile away by
humans. Juanita, your Costa Rican friend, saw a report online claiming that these
birds can be as loud as 100 dB (decibels). To put it in perspective, a live rock
concert makes around 100 dB of sound. While these birds can be quite loud, a
hundred decibels seems like an exaggeration. Skeptical, Juanita decides to
conduct a hypothesis test to decide whether the internet report can be trusted
based on a random sample of 9 adult male three-wattled bellbirds.
- Assume that the loudness of bellbird songs are approximately normally
distributed with mean u (in dB) and variance o2 (in dB2) – both unknown

O Ho:us100, Ha:p>100.
(ii) The average loudness and variance for Juanita's sampled birds were
computed to be 94.619 dB and 49.0001 dB2 respectively. Conduct an appropriate
test to choose between the hypotheses you identified in (i), and report the
p-value, and your decision (accept or reject Ho) at a 2% level of significance (that
is, a = 0.02).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: Sample size, n = 9

          Sample mean, m = 94.619

          SAmple variance, s2 = 49.0001  

 

Part (iv):  Since the population variance is unknown, the margin of error "E" to be at most 5 implies

                                               E =5  t(n-1, α/2)×s2n  = 5   2.306×49.0001n =5                                n =  2.306×49.000152                                n = 10.4 ~ 10
