The composition of the earth’s atmosphere may have changed over
time. One attempt to discover the nature of the atmosphere long ago
studies the gas trapped in bubbles inside ancient amber. Amber is
tree resin that has hardened and been trapped in rocks. The gas in
bubbles within amber should be a sample of the atmosphere at the
time the amber was formed. Measurement on specimens of amber from
the late Cretaceous era (75 to 95 million years ago) gives...

To try to determine whether the composition of the earth’s
atmosphere has changed over time, scientists can examine the gas in
bubbles trapped inside ancient amber. (That’s the plot
of Jurassic Park.) Assume that the following 9 measures are a
random sample from the late Cretaceous era (75 to 95 million years
ago). The data represent the percent of nitrogen in each
sample.
63.4 65.0 64.4 63.3 54.8 64.5 60.8 49.1 51.0
You asked to conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the
mean is less than 61.
