Question

Data show that men between the ages of 20 and 29 in a general population have a mean height of 69.3 inches, with a standard deviation of 2.6 inches. A baseball analyst wonders whether the standard deviation of heights of major-league baseball players is less than 2.6 inches. The heights (in inches) of 20 randomly selected players are shown in the table.

A. Calculate the value of the test statistic.

chi Subscript Superscript 2 equals

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

B. Use technology to determine the P-value for the test statistic.

The P-value is

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The image contains a 4x5 grid of numbers. The numbers, arranged in rows from top to bottom, are as follows:

- Row 1: 72, 74, 71, 71, 76
- Row 2: 70, 77, 76, 72, 72
- Row 3: 77, 73, 75, 70, 73
- Row 4: 74, 75, 73, 74, 74

Each cell in the grid contains a two-digit number. The numbers appear to be arranged in separate columns and rows for organizational purposes, likely representing data such as scores or measurements. There are no graphs or diagrams accompanying the grid.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
