A farmer has found over the years that the average height of a corn plant is 77.4 inches with a standard deviation of 7.3 inches. A seed company promises that their seeds produce taller plants. The farmer plants 45 of their seeds and the resulting plants had a mean height of 80.3 inches. Test the seed company’s claim using a = .025 and the prob-value approach.

Practice for Hypothesis Testing (with z) 5. A farmer has found over the years that the average height of a corn plant is 77.4 inches with a standard deviation of 7.3 inches. A seed company promises that their seeds produce taller plants. The farmer plants 45 of their seeds and the resulting plants had a mean height of 80.3 inches. Test the seed company’s claim using a= .025 and the prob-value approach.
Corn plants grow to a mean height of 6.43 feet with a standard deviation of 0.14 feet. A new genetically modified corn plant is being developed. A researcher grew a group of 37 genetically modified corn plants and found that their mean height was 6.52 feet. Test to determine if the genetically modified plants are taller using α = 0.01.
