Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol( mean, standard deviation, andp) for the indicated parameter. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific journal which claims that fewer than 16 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. Use the parameter p, the true proportion of fireflies unable to produce light.

- Solve the problem.Assume that mountain lions' weights are normally distributed with a mean of 62.6 kilograms and a standard deviation of 2.6 kilograms. If 70 mountain lions are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean weight between 61.9 kilograms and 62.8 pounds.arrow_forwardSuppose the average age of a Tulane undergraduate is 20 years with a standard deviation of 1.2 years.

- The main purpose of inferential statistics is to know whether: random sampling error occurs. the sample represents the population. the sample is randomly selected. the population size is larger than sample size.arrow_forwardThe mean for life expectancy is 47.6 for White people who were born in 1900 and 33.0 for non-white people. Suppose you randomly sample the death records for people born in 1900 in a certain country. Of the 124 white people, the mean life span is 45.3 years and the standard deviation is 12.7 years. 82 of the non-white people have a mean life span of 34.1 and a standard deviation of 15.6 years. A hypothesis test is needed to see if the mean is the same for both countries for White and Non-White people. Is this a right, left or two-tailed test.arrow_forwardAssume that the average weight of an NFL player is 245.7 lbs with a standard deviation of 34.5 lbs. The distribution of NFL weights is not normal. Suppose you took a random sample of 32 players. What is the probability that the sample average will be less than 260 lbs?arrow_forward

Farm-raised trout contain an average (mean) of 32 grams of fat per pound, with a standard deviation of 8 grams of fat per pound. A random sample of 40 farm-raised trout is selected. The mean fat content for the sample is 30.2 grams per pound. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 30.2 grams of fat per pound or less in a random sample of 40 farm-raised trout. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
