True/False

$\text { TABLE 9-1 }$
Microsoft Excel was used on a set of data involving the number of parasites found on 46 Monarch butterflies captured in Pismo Beach State Park. A biologist wantsto know if the mean number of parasites per butterfly is over 20 . She will make her decision usinga test witha level of significance of $0.10$ . The following informationwas extracted from the Microsoft Excel outputfor the sample of 46 Monarchbutterflies:

$\begin{array}{llcc} \hline n=46 ; \text { Arithmetic Mean }=28.00 ; \text { Standard Deviation }=25.92 ; \text { Standard Error }=3.82 ; \\\text { Null Hypothesis:} H_{0}: \mu \leq 20.000 ; \alpha=0.10 ; d f=45 ; T \text { Test Statistic} = 2.09;\\\text { One-Tailed Test Upper Critical Value} =1.3006 ;\text { p-value} =0.021 ; \text { Decision = Reject.}\\\hline\end{array}$


-Referring to Table 9-1, the biologist can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to show that the average number of parasites per Monarch butterfly in Pismo Beach State Park is over 20 with no more than a 5% probability of incorrectly rejecting the true null hypothesis.
