The average fruit fly will lay 400 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will change for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal.

473, 408, 491, 452, 387, 465, 378, 411, 426, 367, 433, 548

What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance?

H0:  = 400

Ha: [ Select ] ["Not Equal To", ">", "<"]400

Test statistic: [ Select ] ["T", "Z"]           

p-Value =  [ Select ]  ["0.02", "0.03", "0.01", "0.06"]  [ Select ]  ["Reject Ho", "Fail to Reject Ho"]           

Conclusion: There is  [ Select ]  ["statistically significant", "statistically insignificant"]  evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean number of eggs that fruit flies with this gene modified will lay in rotting fruit is not equal to 400.
