A simple rаndоm sаmple оf 15-yeаr оld boys from one city is obtained and their weights (in pounds) are listed below. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that these sample weights come from a population with a mean equal to 147 lb. Assume that the standard deviation of the weights of all 15-year old boys in the city is known to be 16.7 lb.  Your scratch paper must show all five steps as demonstrated in the videos or you will not receive credit.             146   140    160    151    134    189    157    144    175    127    164            What is the test statistic? z=[test] (round to 2 decimal places) What are the critical values?  z=+/- [critical] (round to 3 decimal places) What is your conclusion about the claim? [conclusion] s = support the claim r = reject the claim f = fail to reject the claim n = not enough evidence to support the claim

Use the pаssаge belоw tо аnswer the questiоn. [1] A study in the iScience journal analyzed data on reading habits.  The study entailed over 236,000 Americans who participated in the American Time Use Survey between 2003 and 2023. The findings perceived a cultural shift: fewer people are taking time in their day to read for enjoyment.  This is a sustained, steady decline of about 3% per year.   The researchers asserted that lower rates of reading for enjoyment every year may be a problem. [2] The decline wasn’t evenly spread across the population. Researchers found much lower frequency of reading for enjoyment among Black Americans than white Americans, people with lower income or educational attainment, and those in rural (country) areas — confirming strong differences in reading access and habits.  [3] While people with higher education levels and women are still more likely to read, even among these groups, we’re seeing shifts.   Among those who do read, the time spent reading has increased slightly, which may suggest a polarization, where some people are reading more in one area while many in the opposite area have stopped reading altogether. According to the study, if 100 of people read for enjoyment in 2003, about how many people read for enjoyment in 2004?
