A scale is known to be "low-calibrated" in that it measures an aluminum bar to be 4 grams lower than the actual weight. If ????μold is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using the old calibration, and ????μnew is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using a re-calibrated scale. It is desired that ????−????=4μnew−μold=4. Consider the test ?0:????−????=4H0:μnew−μold=4 vs. ?0:????−????≠4H0:μnew−μold≠4 Sample after calibration: mean is 95.8 , SD is 4.9 and sample size is 10 Sample before calibration: mean is 89.352 , SD is 4.2 and sample size is 62 We do not know population standard deviations.

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna). (Reference: Hummingbirds, K. Long, W. Alther.) Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 0.64 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is μ = 4.30 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.30 grams? Use ? = 0.10. (a) What is the level of significance? (Enter a number.)
