The Leghorn breed of chicken is marketed as being able to lay on average 280 eggs a year it's first season of laying. A small-time chicken farmer has been disappointed with the results of his leghorn hens and decides to test the claim. Working with a large group of chicken farmers, he randomly selects, tags, and monitors the egg-laying of 70 leghorns for their entire first season of laying. Suppose the chicken farmer conducts the test and finds a p-value of .0612. Fill in the blank: When testing at alpha ? =.05,

A) Ha should be rejected.
B) Ho should be rejected.
C) Ho should be accepted.
D) Ho should not be rejected.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Since p - value = 0.0612 > 0.05 (level of significance) we DO NOT REJECT Ho.

Correct option - D) Ho should not be rejected.

Reason - When the p-value is greater than alpha, we fail to reach significance; the decision is to retain the null hypothesis.

Assume that the average size for chicken eggs is 49.6 gram with a standard deviation of 7.5 grams. Assume that the egg sizes are normally distributed. a. What is the probability that you will have a size of at least 67.5 gram? b. What is the probability that the average weight of 15 eggs will be between 46 and 51 grams? c. If we call an egg “Peewee” size when it is among the smallest 2 percent of the weight,...

The average fruit fly will lay 400 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will change for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 410, 415, 411, 404, 369, 395, 408, 374, 398, 386, 379 What can be concluded at the the α...

 1. Chicken Eggs- from module 5 slides A farmer focusing on the production of eco-friendly chicken eggs collects the following data about his output. In a sample of 50 eggs, the farmer finds the average egg to weigh 47 grams. The standard deviation of the egg weight is 2 grams and the distribution of weights resembles a normal distribution reasonably closely. The farmer can sell the eggs to a local distributor. However, they have to be in the interval between 44 grams and...

12. Nest parasites are species of birds that lay eggs in the nests of other birds, where their eggs will be incubated and their young fed by the breeding pair of another species. The parasitized pair often do not recognize that there are additional eggs in the nest, or do not recognize the eggs as those of parasites. The parasitized nest often results in fewer offspring surviving for the parasitized breeding pair, but survival of the parasites' offspring. If this...
