A simple random sample of germination times (in days) for n = 7 seeds of a new strain of snap beans has a sample mean ¯x = 15.57 days and standard deviation s = 3.21 days. Assume that germination times are normally distributed. Please show work for full credit.

(a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if average germination time of this new strain of snap beans is below 17 days. Use pvalue.

(b) Interpret your answer from part (a).

Suppose that we want to estimate the mean germination time of strawberry seeds. The germination times for the sample of strawberries we choose has a mean of 20 days and a standard deviation of 1.5 days. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable having a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a variable having a...

(a). A simple random sample of 37 days was selected. For these 37 days, Parsnip was fed seeds on 22 days and Parsnip was fed pellets on the other 15 days. The goal is to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all days in which Parsnip was fed seeds, and to do so there are two assumptions. The first is that there is a simple random sample, which is satisfied. What is the second assumption, and specific...

A simple random sample of size n=40 is obtained from a population with μ = 50 a n d σ = 4. Does the population distribution need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x ¯ to be approximately normally distributed? Why or why not? What is the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution?
