Question
2.A random sample of 64 Male college students shows that average weight is 166 lb. with a Standard deviation of 25 lb.
- At 5% level of significance, does the sample provide enough evidence to prove that the
mean weight of all college students is more than 163 lb.? - Also explain the meaning of alpha and P-value occurred in the content of this problem.
- Describe what kind of error it is for type II error in the content of this problem.
