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.
The sample mean is = 3.75 grams. Letx be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume thatx has a normal distribution and ? = 0.64 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is ? = 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.
