Question

Gentle Ben is a Morgan horse at a Colorado dude ranch. Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from this horse (in mg/100 ml).
95 88 84 105 97 110 86 91

I need help with sketching the sampling distribution (d) and (e) 

 

Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.
O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the horse's glucose is higher than 85 mg/100 ml.
O There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the horse's glucose is higher than 85 mg/100 ml.

The sample mean is x x 94.5. Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that o = 12.5. The mean glucose level for horses should be
u = 85 mg/100 ml.t Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use a = 0.05.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
O Ho: H > 85; H,: µ = 85; right-tailed
O Ho: H = 85; H;: µ < 85; left-tailed
O Ho: u = 85; H,: µ + 85; two-tailed
O Ho: H = 85; H,: µ > 85; right-tailed
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.
The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known o.
O The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown o.
O The Student's t, since n is large with unknown o.
The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known o.
Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
