This is a question for my stats class. Its a hypothesis problem with a conclusion.
A forester studying diameter growth of red pine believes that the mean diameter growth will be different from the known mean growth of 1.35 inches/year if a fertilization treatment is applied to the stand. He conducts his experiment, collects data from a sample of 32 plots, and gets a sample mean diameter growth of 1.6 in./year with the standard deviation of 0.46 in./year. What did the forester discovered?
