reported that the mean weight of six-year-old girls in the United States was
pounds. Another NHANES survey, published in
, reported that a sample of
six-year-old girls weighed between
and
had an average weight of
pounds. Assume the population standard deviation is
pounds. Can you conclude that the mean weight of six-year-old girls is higher in
than in
? Use the
level of significance and the P-valuemethod with the TI-84 calculator. Compute the P-value
Given that
Sample size (n)=190
Sample mean=52.5
Standard deviation =17.2
Level of significance=0.05
We have to test hypothesis for the claim that the mean weight of six year old girls is higher in 2006 than 2002....
