Test the claim that the population mean weight (in pounds) of rainbow trout is more than the population mean weight of brook trout. A random sample of 18 rainbow trout yields a mean weight of 1.53 pounds and standard deviation of 0.4, while a random sample of 24 brook trout yields a mean weight of 1.12 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.2. Use a = 0.05. Let Population 1 be the rainbow trout, and assume that trout weights are normally distributed. 1. The fact that trout weights are normally distributed is important in this test because: O both sample sizes are less than thirty O this is a T-test O this is a Z-test O both sample means are less than thirty The hypotheses are: O Ho:p1 = p2; Ha: p1 # p2 O Ho:p1 2 p2; Ha:p1 < p2 O Ho:p1 < p2; Ha:p1 > p2 O Ho:p = H2; Ha: µ1 # µ2 O Ho:p < p2; Ha: µ1 > µ2 O Ho:µ P2; Ha: µ1 < µ2 2.

Test the claim that the population mean weight (in pounds) of rainbow trout is more than the population
mean weight of brook trout. A random sample of 18 rainbow trout yields a mean weight of 1.53 pounds and
standard deviation of 0.4, while a random sample of 24 brook trout yields a mean weight of 1.12 pounds
and a standard deviation of 0.2. Use a = 0.05.
Let Population 1 be the rainbow trout, and assume that trout weights are normally distributed.
1. The fact that trout weights are normally distributed is important in this test because:
O both sample sizes are less than thirty
O this is a T-test
O this is a Z-test
O both sample means are less than thirty
The hypotheses are:
O Ho:p1 = p2; Ha: p1 p2
O Ho:p1 2 p2; Ha:p1 < p2
O Ho:p1 < p2; Ha:p1 > p2
O Ho: pi = p2; Ha: pi 42
O Ho:µi < p2; Ha: µ1 > µ2
O Ho:p H2; Ha: µ1 < µ2
2. This is a O rightO twoO left tailed test and the distribution used is
OZ since testing two proportions
OT since both o values are not known
Z since both o values are known

The Degrees of Freedom (use the simple estimate discussed in the notes, not the messy formula) are
O 18
O 17
ON/A; this is a Z-test
3. The STS (round to 3 decimals) is:
The P-value (round to 4 decimals) is:
4. The decision at a = 0.05 is:
O Reject Ho since P > a
O Do not reject Ho since P > a
O Do not reject Ho since P< a
O Reject Ho since P < a
The conclusion is:
O There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight of rainbow trout is not more than
the mean weight of brook trout
There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight of rainbow trout is more than the
mean weight of brook trout
O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for rainbow trout is more than the
mean weight for brook trout
O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean rainbow trout weight is not more than the
mean weight of brook trout
