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 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught
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 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05.
a) Estimate the P-value. select one:
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
b) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
c) will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??
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.
