question 17

Not Answered

Consider the figure shown indicating the number of moles on the skin of a set of 30 patients examined by a dermatologist. Published reports claim that the mean number for the population these patients come from is 3.4 moles. Conduct a one-sample t-test on this data and determine whether this seems to be true. Assume a = 0.5. In your answer, present the following: your calculated t-value, an exact P-value using a computer or a range for the P-value using a table of critical values, and a statement about whether the population mean appears to be 3.4 or not based on the sample.
