Question
Gentle Ben is a Morgan horse at a Colorado dude ranch. Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from this horse (in mg/100 ml).
95 90 84 107 97 108 82 91
The sample mean is x ≈ 94.3. Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that ? = 12.5. The mean glucose level for horses should be ? = 85 mg/100 ml.† Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use ? = 0.05.
 
State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
H0: ? = 85; H1: ? ≠ 85; two-tailed
H0: ? = 85; H1: ? < 85; left-tailed    
H0: ? > 85; H1: ? = 85; right-tailed
H0: ? = 85; H1: ? > 85; right-tailed
 
What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.
A) The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown ?.
B) The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known ?.    
C) The Student's t, since n is large with unknown ?.
D) The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known ?.
 
Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
 
Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
 
Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??
 
A) At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
B) At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.    
C) At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
D) At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
