Question
![The Journal de Botanique reported that the mean height of Begonias grown while being treated with a particular nutrient is 45 centimeters. To check whether
this is still accurate, heights are measured for a random sample of 15 Begonias grown while being treated with the nutrient. The sample mean and sample
standard deviation of those height measurements are 49 centimeters and 11 centimeters, respectively.
Assume that the heights of treated Begonias are approximately normally distributed. Based on the sample, can it be concluded that the population mean height
of treated begonias, μ, is different from that reported in the journal? Use the 0.10 level of significance.
Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
