For each of the word problems, use a solution sheet to do the hypothesis test. The solution sheet is found in Appendix E, Solution Sheets. Please feel free to make copies of the solution sheets. For the online version of the book, it is suggested that you copy the.doc or the.pdf files.
La Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was nine months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 4 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the United States is less than four years old.
This exercise builds on another exercise in its source book, which isn't shown here.
