Question 122477This question is from textbook Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics,
: Tests of Hypothesis
23) Experience raising New Jersey Red chickens revealed the mean weight of the chickens at five months is 4.35 pounds. The weights follow the normal distribution. In an effort to increase their weight, a special additive is added to the chicken feed. The subsequent weights of a sample of five-month-old chickens were (in pounds):
4.41 4.37 4.33 4.35 4.30 4.39 4.36 4.38 4.40 4.39
At the .01 level, has the special additive increased the mean weight of the chickens? Estimate the p-value

Are you using T-tests and Z-tests for your Hypothesis testing of means?
