7 A shop sells cooked chickens in two sizes: medium and large.
The weights, \(X\) grams, of medium chickens may be assumed to be normally distributed with mean \(\mu _ { X }\) and standard deviation 45.
The weights, \(Y\) grams, of large chickens may be assumed to be normally distributed with mean \(\mu _ { Y }\) and standard deviation 65.
A random sample of 20 medium chickens had a mean weight, \(\bar { x }\) grams, of 936 .
A random sample of 10 large chickens had the following weights in grams:
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l }
1165 & 1202 & 1077 & 1144 & 1195 & 1275 & 1136 & 1215 & 1233 & 1288
\end{array}$$
- Calculate the mean weight, \(\bar { y }\) grams, of this sample of large chickens.
- Hence investigate, at the \(1 \%\) level of significance, the claim that the mean weight of large chickens exceeds that of medium chickens by more than 200 grams.
- Deduce that, for your test in part (b), the critical value of \(( \bar { y } - \bar { x } )\) is 253.24, correct to two decimal places.
- Hence determine the power of your test in part (b), given that \(\mu _ { Y } - \mu _ { X } = 275\).
- Interpret, in the context of this question, the value that you obtained in part (c)(ii).
