- Suppose that Melanie is a researcher who wishes to estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital. What is the minimum number of babies should she sample if she wishes to be at least 90% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 225 grams of the the mean birthweight of all babies? Assume that the distribution of birthweights at her hospital is normal with a standard deviation of 600 g.arrow_forwardThe average price of a college math textbook is $162 and the standard deviation is $25.

Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 7, 10, 11, 9, 11, 7, 8, 11, 9, 9, 11, 9, 11, 9, 7 What can be concluded at the the α = 0.10 level of significance level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is α Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly less than 10 at α = 0.10, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean wait time for men who wear a tie is equal to 10.…arrow_forward
