A random sample of 41 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.05 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.78 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is μ = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use α = 0.01.

$t=\frac{2.05-1.75}{\frac{0.78}{\sqrt{41}}}=2.463$

$p_v =P(t_{(40)}2.463)=0.00909$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the the true mean is higher than 1.75 at 1% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=2.05$ represent the sample mean

s=0.78 represent the sample standard deviation

n=41 sample size

$\mu_o =1.75$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 1.75, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 1.75$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu 1.75$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{2.05-1.75}{\frac{0.78}{\sqrt{41}}}=2.463$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n-1=41-1=40

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(40)}2.463)=0.00909$

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

Now max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.

(co 3) the times that customers spend in a book store are normally distributed with a mean of 39.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 9.4 minutes. a random sample of 25 customers has a mean of 36.1 minutes or less. would this outcome be considered unusual, so that the store should reconsider its displays? no, the probability of this outcome at 0.035, would be considered usual, so there is no problem yes, the probability of this outcome at 0.035, would be considered unusual, so the display should be redone no the probability of this outcome at 0.359 would be considered usual, so there is no problem yes, the probability of this outcome at 0.965 would be considered unusual, so the display should be redone
