One of the most feared predators is the great white shark, which can grow to a mean length of 21 feet. A marine biologist believes that the great white sharks off the coast of Bermuda g•ow much longer owing to unusual feeding habits. To test this claim, some adult great white sharks are captured, measured, and then released from off the Bermuda coast. However, because the capture is difficult, costly and dangerous, only three specimens were sampled, having lengths of 20, 22, and 24 feet. a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to support the marine biologist's claim at the 10% significance level? b. Give the approximate observed sign

a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to support the marine biologist's claim at the 10% significance level?
b. Give the approximate observed significance level for the test in part a (the p-value) and interpret its meaning.
c. What assumptions must be made in order to carry out this test? Do you think that these assumptions are likely to be satisfied in this sampling situation? Why or why not?
1. State the type of test that is needed for the question
2. State the Null and lternative hypothesis very clearly.
3. Provide the test statistic
4. Provide the p-value
5. State your decision (either to reject the Null or not to reject the Null
6. Write down the conclusion in the context of the problem.
