Question 8 D A researcher's hypothesis is that the average length of salmon returning to spawn from an Alaskan river is less than the historical average length of 24 inches. The researcher collects a random sample of 45 salmon, measures the length of each fish, and computes an average length of 22 inches, with a standard deviation of 3.1 inches. Which of the following is the appropriate test for the researcher's hypothesis? A matched-pairs t-test for a mean difference B A two-sample t-test for a difference between means A one-sample z-test for a population mean A one-sample t-test for a population mean A one-sample z-test for a population proportion
