Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).† Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and ? = 0.78 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is ? = 4.60 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.60 grams? Use ? = 0.05. Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. Round two decimal places Find (or estimate) the P-value. Round four decimal places
