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 ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.9 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: ? = 19 in; H1: ? ≠ 19 in H0: ? > 19 in; H1: ? = 19 in H0: ? < 19 in; H1: ? = 19 in H0: ? = 19 in; H1: ? < 19 in H0: ? = 19 in; H1: ? > 19 in What sampling distribution will you use?

Question

What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: ? = 19 in; H₁: ? ≠ 19 in

H₀: ? > 19 in; H₁: ? = 19 in

H₀: ? < 19 in; H₁: ? = 19 in

H₀: ? = 19 in; H₁: ? < 19 in

H₀: ? = 19 in; H₁: ? > 19 in

What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.

The standard normal, since the sample size is large and ? is known.

The Student's t, since the sample size is large and ? is unknown.

The Student's t, since the sample size is large and ? is known.

The standard normal, since the sample size is large and ? is unknown.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(c)

Estimate the P-value.

P-value > 0.010

0.0010 < P-value < 0.010

0.250 < P-value < 0.0010

0.125 < P-value < 0.250

P-value < 0.125

(d)

At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

(e)

Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.

There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.
