(a) A certain type of hummingbird is known to have an
average weight of 4.55 grams. A researcher wonders if
hummingbirds (of this same type) living in the Grand
Canyon differ in weight from the population as a whole.
The researcher finds a sample of 30 such hummingbirds
from the Grand Canyon and calculates their average
weight to be 3.75 grams.
