Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided
represent the sample mean in mg per deciliter of cholesterol level
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
System of hypothesis
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 53 mg per deciliter, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
Calculate the statistic
Replacing into the formula we got:
P-value
We need to find first the degrees of freedom:

The p value for this case since we have a right tailed test is:

Weight at 8 months = 7.25 x 2 1/2
= 7.25 x 5/2
= 7.25 x 2.5
= 18.125
The baby weighs 18.125 pounds at eight months.
