题目
Raman is researching the heights of male giraffes in a particular region. Raman assumes that the heights of male giraffes in this region are normally distributed. He takes a random sample of male giraffes from the region and measures the height, in metres, of each giraffe. These heights are as follows.
(a) Find a confidence interval for the population mean height of male giraffes in this region.
Raman claims that the population mean height of male giraffes in the region is less than metres.
(b) Test at the significance level whether this sample provides sufficient evidence to support Raman’s claim.
题目中文翻译
Raman 正在研究某地区雄性长颈鹿的身高。他假设该地区雄性长颈鹿的身高服从正态分布。他从该地区随机抽取 只雄性长颈鹿,测量每只的身高,单位为米,结果如下。
(a) 求该地区雄性长颈鹿总体平均身高的 置信区间。
Raman 声称,该地区雄性长颈鹿的总体平均身高小于 米。
(b) 在 的显著性水平下,检验这一样本是否提供了充分证据支持 Raman 的声称。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
