Ages of U.S. Senators The mean age of Senators in the 109th Congress was 60.35 years. A random sample of 40 senators from various state senates had an average age of 55.4 years, and the population standard deviation is 6.5 years. At a = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence that state senators are on average younger than the Senators in Washington?

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ=20 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 37 fish caught, the mean length was 17.5 inches, with an estimated standard deviation of 4.3 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than μ=20 inches? Use α=0.05. What is the value of the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)Based on your results, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level αα? A) At the α=0.05α=0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. B) At the α=0.05α=0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. C)…
