Question
The average weight of the whole chickens sold at Tumauini Market is 1.26 kg. A random sample of 40chickens shows that the mean weight is 1.34 kg. What is the alternative hypothesis of the problem? A.=1.26C.≠1.26B.≥1.26D.<1.26
Solution
The alternative hypothesis for this problem would be C. ≠1.26. This is because the alternative hypothesis is what you might believe to be true or hope to prove true. In this case, you are testing whether the average weight of the chickens is not equal to 1.26 kg.

Tuatara are rare, medium-sized reptiles found only in New Zealand. Assume female lengths are normally distributed.The length of each tuatara in a sample of 10 female tuatara is measured giving an average length of 48.5cm with a standard deviation of 2.9cm.Suppose we repeatedly took random samples of 10 female tuatara. What percentage of these samples would we expect to have a sample mean weight that is less than 50.34cm?(You should use the empirical rules to estimate this percentage.)Select one:a.2.5%b.100%c.95%d.97.5%
