TABLE 9- 1
Microsoft Excel Was Used on a Set

question 164

Short Answer

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 wants to know if the mean number of parasites per butterfly is over 20. She will make her decision using a test with a level of significance of 0.10. The following information was extracted from the Microsoft Excel output for the sample of 46 Monarch butterflies:
$\begin{array}{llcc} \hline n=46 ; \text { Arithmetic Mean }=28.00 ; \text { Standard Deviation }=25.92 ; \text { Standard Error }=3.82 ; \\\text { Null Hypothesis:} H_{0}: \mu \leq 20.000 ; \alpha=0.10 ; d f=45 ; T \text { Test Statistic} = 2.09;\\\text { One-Tailed Test Upper Critical Value} =1.3006 ;\text { p-value} =0.021 ; \text { Decision = Reject.}\\\hline\end{array}$

-Referring to Table 9-1, the probability of committing a Type II error is _____ if the mean number of parasites per butterfly on Monarch butterflies in Pismo Beach State Park is 18 using a 0.1 level of significance and assuming that the population standard deviation is 25.92.

Definitions:

Average Total Cost

The average expense for each unit of output, calculated by dividing the overall production cost by the total number of units produced.

Average Fixed Cost

The cost that remains constant per unit of output as total production increases or decreases.

Minimum Point

The lowest point on a curve, often related to economic graphs such as cost curves, indicating the least quantity of cost or effort.

Marginal Cost

The additional cost incurred from producing one more unit of a product or service.
