1. The St. Louis Zoo wishes to obtain eggs of a rare Mississippi river turtle. Turtles of the area bury their eggs in a nest in sandbanks along the river. Past research has shown that lengths of turtle eggs are normally distributed, and lengths of a rare turtle egg have population mean = 13.59 cm. The rare turtle egg is the only one with mean length 13.59. Therefore, in running a significance, we will use the hypotheses: = Ho: 13.59 and Ha: 13.59. A nest was found with 36 eggs. The mean length of this collection is X = 13.28 cm and standard deviation of 1.2 cm. The resulting P-value was found to be 0.0643. Based on what you know about making conclusions, should we report these findings to the St. Louis Zoo as possible rare turtle eggs? Be sure to explain your answer, including your conclusion regarding these results. (2 points)
