Question
A random sample of 41 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.09 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.88 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is μ = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use ? = 0.01.
(a) What is the level of significance?
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
