e) With the increase in talent and home run hitting ability in
the MLB, it is speculated that the size of the baseballs has

inches. The sample mean and sample standard deviation of the
diameter of n =100 baseballs used recently were 2.45 inches and
0.30 inches respectively. Can we conclude at 5% level of
significance that the mean diameter of the baseballs used recently
is not 2.5 inches?
