Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby boys is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 4.93 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of 16 baby boys, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby boys in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.

- According to previous studies, the mean distance each visitor in Greenspan National Park hikes during their visit is 21 kilometers. The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, H, is now less than 21 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 85 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 20.5 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 8.3 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 21 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance.
