The historical mean for fish caught at a certain Florida lake is 10 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.2 pounds. A fishman goes on a Satuday and catches 12 fish whhich had a mean weight of 11 pounds. Has themean weight of fish at the Florida lake increased? Use a = .05 Please show calculation to problem.
-----------------------------------------
Ho: u = 10
H1: u > 10
--------------
Critical value for 1-tail test with alpha = 5% and df = 10: t = 1.7959
-----------
test statistic: t(11)= (11-10)/[1.2/sqrt(11)] = 2.7639
p-value = P(t>2.7639 with df=11) = 0.0092
-----------------------------------------------
Conclusion: since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The mean wt. at the lake has increased.
--------
