Question
As per records the claim of average weight of a female lion is 95.0 lbs. To check this claim, a random sample of 42 wild mountains lions (18 months or older) were captured, weighed, tagged, and released; the weights recorded in pounds yielded a sample mean of 90.0 lbs. with a standard deviation of weights is 30.7. At a 5% level of significance, does this data indicate that the true mean is less than the claim?
e. Compute p-value
f. Conclusion using critical method
g. Conclusion using p-value method
Explanation / Answer
e. Compute p-value
It is a left-tailed test.
So the p-value= P(Z<-1.06) =0.1446 (from standard normal table)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f. Conclusion using critical method
Since Z=-1.06 is larger than -1.645, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
So we can not conclude that the true mean is less than the claim
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g. Conclusion using p-value method
Since the p-value is larger than 0.05, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
So we can not conclude that the true mean is less than the claim
