Is fishing better from a boat or from the shore? Pyramid Lake
is located on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada.
Presidents, movie stars, and people who just want to catch
fish go to Pyramid Lake for really large cutthroat trout. Let row
B represent hours per fish caught fishing from the shore, and
let row A represent hours per fish caught using a boat. The
following data are paired by month from October through April.

A: Boat

Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in
the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat
compared with fishing from the shore. (Let d = B - A.)
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-
tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
Họ: ld = 0; H1: µd * 0; two-tailed
Ho: Hd # 0; H1: µd = 0; two-tailed
Ho: Hd = 0; H1: Hd < 0; left-tailed
Ho: Hd = 0; H1: Hd> 0; right-tailed
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What
assumptions are you making?
The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your
answer to three decimal places.)
