Random Generation of DataRepeat Exercise 7 without making the assumption that the population standard deviation is known.
Exercise 7
Random Generation of DataThe TI-81/84Plus calculator can be used to generate random data from a normally distributed population. The commandrandNorm(74, 12.5, 100)generates 100 values from a normally distributed population with μ = 74 and σ = 12.5 (for pulse rates of women). One such generated sample of 100 values has a mean of 74.4 and a standard deviation of 11.7. Assume that is known to be 12.5 and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample actually does come from a population with a mean equal to 74. Based on the results, does it appear that the calculator’s random number generator is working correctly?
