Experience raising New Jersey Red chickens revealed the mean weight of the chickens at

Answer 1

Answer:

p-value = 0.1277

Step-by-step explanation:

p-value is the probability value tell us how likely it is to get a result like this if the Null Hypothesis is true.

Firstly we find the mean and standard deviation of the given data set.

⇒ Mean = $\frac{4.41 +4.37+ 4.33+ 4.35 +4.30 +4.39 +4.36+ 4.38+ 4.40+ 4.39}{10}$

⇒ Mean = 4.368

$Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}} }$

where, $\bar{x}$ is mean of the distribution.

⇒ Standard Deviation = 0.034

Applying t- test:

Let out hypothesis is:

H₀: μ = 4.35

H₁: μ ≠ 4.35

Now,

Here, μ = Population Mean = 4.35

$\bar{x}$= Sample Mean = 4.368

σ = Standard Deviation = 0.034

n = 10

$t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all values we get, t = 1.6777 with (10 -1) = 9 degree of freedom.

Then the p-value at 99% level of significance.

⇒ p-value = 0.1277
