![Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that
the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot
withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample
mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 62 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of
tardigrades is approximately normally distributed.
Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support that u, the mean amount
of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Gy.
(a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test.

(b) Perform a hypothesis test. The test statistic has a t distribution (so the test is a "t test"). Here is some other information to help you with your test.

(See diagram.) Plots numbered 1—16 are in deep shade from the trees for most of the day while periodic flooding occurs in the areas numbered 17—32. The biologist chooses 16 plots at random and applies organic fertilizer. The other plots receive non-organic fertilizer. At the end of the study period, the percentage increase in the number of this plant is measured in each plot and compared for each type of fertilizer. Is this an experiment? Briefly explain your answer. A biologist is studying the effect of fertilizer on a species of endangered plant in a specific area of land divided into 32 equal sized plots. (See diagram.)
