A random sample of 46 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.03 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.78 vears. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is u = 1.75.

HOw would you figure this out?

A random sample of 46 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.03 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.78
years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is u = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern
Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use a = 0.01.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
O Ho: H = 1.75 yr; H,: µ > 1.75 yr
О но: и < 1.75 yr;B H,: и %3D 1.75 yr
О но: и > 1.75 yr;B H,: и %3D 1.75 yr
О н: и 3 1.75 yr; H,: и # 1.75 yr
O Ho: H = 1.75 yr; H,: µ < 1.75 yr
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.
O The standard normal, since the sample size is large and o is unknown.
The Student's t, since the sample size is large and o is unknown.
O The standard normal, since the sample size is large and o is known.
O The Student's t, since the sample size is large and o is known.
