A herd of 1,500 steer was fed a special high‐protein grain for a month. A random sample of 29 were weighed and had gained an ave

rage of 6.7 pounds. If the standard deviation of weight gain for the entire herd is 7.1, test the hypothesis that the average weight gain per steer for the month was more than 5 pounds.

By formula we know that:

z (x) = (x - m) / [sd / sqrt (n)]

where x is the value we want to know (6.7), m is the mean (5), sd is the standard deviation (7.1) and n is the sample size (29).

Replacing we have:

z (6.7) = (6.7 - 5) / [7.1 / sqrt (29)]

z = 1.289

If we look in the normal distribution table (attached), we have that the probability is 0.8997, therefore:

1 - 0.8897 = 0.1003

So the conditional probability of a herd sample earning at least 6.7 pounds per steer is 10.03%.

Now the hypothesis tells me:

m> 5

The probability is somewhat low, therefore, the most correct thing is to reject the hypothesis even though it is a fact that can occur.
