Question
An oceanographer claims that the mean dive duration of a North Atlantic right whale is
normally distributed.
11.6
minutes. A random sample of
35
dive durations has a mean of
12.3
minutes and a standard deviation of
2.2
minutes. At
α=0.01
is there enough evidence to reject the oceanographer's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Assume the population is Question content area bottom

- A triathlon consisting of swimming, cycling, and running is one of the more strenuous amateur sporting events. An article reports on a research study involving nine male triathletes. Maximum heart rate (beats/min) was recorded during performance of each of the three events. For swimming, the sample mean and sample standard deviation were 187.0 and 7.2, respectively. Assuming that the heart-rate distribution is (approximately) normal, construct a 98% CI for true mean heart rate of triathletes while swimming. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
