Question
Lake Martin and Lake Fields are two large local lakes inhabited by white sturgeon. A while back there was an environmental disaster
at Lake Martin. Kala is an ecologist who wants to see if the mean weight (in kg) of adult white sturgeon now living in Lake Martin is
less than the mean weight (in kg) of adult white sturgeon now living in Lake Fields.
The ecologist catches a random sample of 11 adult white sturgeon at Lake Martin and a random sample of 12 adult white sturgeon
at Lake Fields. (These samples are chosen independently.) Each fish has its weight (in kg) recorded. The white sturgeon caught at
Lake Martin have a sample mean weight of 90.24 with a sample variance of 15.11. The white sturgeon caught at Lake Fields have a
sample mean weight of 98.52 with a sample variance of 231.20.
Assume that the two populations of weights are approximately normally distributed. Can the ecologist conclude, at the 0.01 level of
significance, that the population mean of the weights of adult white sturgeon now living in Lake Martin is less than the population
mean of the weights of adult white sturgeon now living in Lake Fields?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
(a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternate hypothesis H₁.
H₁ : 0
Ho
H₁:0

(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
(Choose one)
(c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
