- A 1995 study shows that since records were first kept in a meteorologist's hometown, the average temperature during the month of May was u=68 degrees. The meteorologist then looks up the average temperatures for each of the 25 Mays since then, and finds their sample mean to be x= 73 and their standard deviation to be s= 8.55 degrees. Can the meteorologist claim that the average temperatures for May is different from how it used to be? Use a 1% level of significance. What is the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis? Is the test is left tailed, right tailed, or two tailed? What is the P value? What is the comparison between the P-value and the a-value given? Do we reject or accept the null hypothesis?arrow_forwardAssume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of u= 100 and a standard deviation g= 15.
