Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.5 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than μ = 19 inches? Use α = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: 19 in Ho: M = 19 in; H₁: μ # 19 in 1 Ho: M = 19 in; H₁: μ 19 in; H₁: μ = 19 in (b) What sampling distribution will you use?
