Question

1.Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from a particular horse (in mg/100 ml)

93 88 82 105 99 110 84 89

The sample mean x is 93.8. Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from this horse. We may assume that x has a normal distribution and we know from past experience that σ = 12.5. The mean glucose level for all horses should be μ = 85 mg/100 ml. Do these data indicate that this particular horse has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? ( Use α = 0.05)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
