Question

In an observational study of teams fishing for lobster in a particular? area, the average distance separating traps? (in meters) for a sample of six teams was measured. Data are shown in the accompanying table. Suppose you previously tested whether the average of the trap spacing measurements for the population of lobster fishermen in this area differs from 94 meters. Complete parts a through e. 101 102 89 98 93 97

a. There is concern that the trap spacing data do not follow a normal distribution. If? so, how will this impact the test you conducted? previously?

A. The inferences will not be valid.

sign test of H₀?: ? =94 vs. Ha?: ??94

c. Compute the value of the test statistic for the nonparametric test.

S=4

d. Find the? p-value of the test.

p =

?(Round to three decimal places as? needed.)

e. Use ?=0.05 and give the appropriate conclusion.
