7. It is a researcher’s belief that the average height of females has increased since the average value of 65 inches was reported. Using the sample of 30 female heights, conduct a hypothesis test at the .05 level that tests whether or not this researcher might be correct. You must state the null and alternative hypotheses as well as the p-value and an interpretation of what this means. HINT: You can use the “with data” option in StatCrunch to do this calculation.
Height (in Inches) Name 72.44 Emma 67.53 Olivia 66.71 Ava 62.02 Isabella 73.89 Sophia 65.95 Mia 65.83 Charlotte 64.15 Amelia 65.39 Evelyn 59.68 Abigail 64.24 Harper 66.60 Emily 65.40 Elizabeth 64.72 Avery 67.11 Sofia 61.97 Ella 62.83 Madison 67.20 Scarlett 66.62 Victoria 68.78 Aria 66.13 Grace 64.47 Chloe 66.64 Camila 62.39 Penelope 63.90 Riley 62.97 Layla 59.31 Lillian 66.14 Nora 67.54 Zoey 63.45 Mila
Thus there is no enough evidence from sampled data to support the researcher's claim that average height of female has increased.
