Let y be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful field goals a professional basketball player makes in a season. A random sample of n = 6 professional basketball players gave the following information.
x | 67 | 64 | 75 | 86 | 73 | 73 |
y | 42 | 40 | 48 | 51 | 44 | 51 |
(a) Verify that Σx = 438, Σy = 276, Σx2 = 32264, Σy2 = 12806, Σxy = 20295, and r ≈ 0.823.

The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?arrow_forward
