Question

An obstetrician read that a newborn baby loses on average

ounces in the first two days of his or her life. He feels that in the hospital where he works, the average weight loss of a newborn baby is less than

ounces. A random sample of

newborn babies has a mean weight loss of

6.2

ounces. The population standard deviation is

1.5

ounces. Is there enough evidence at

=α0.01

to support his claim? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the

-value method with tables.

hello there are five parts to the question it asks to state the hypothessis and identify the claim it asks to compute the test value find the p value and choose the null hypothesis

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 + ...
