L. A group of environmental science students from the College of Science wished to determine whether
an insect population found only in one location of forest belonged to a certain species. The only
morphological characteristic which appeared from that of the unknown members of the species was
wing length with a mean of 17.6 millimetres. The students measured the wing length of 50 insects and
has a mean of 18.3 millimetres with a standard deviation of 1.7 millimetres. Can the students conclude,
at the 0.05 level of significance, that the insects are of different species?
