Hypothesis testing: For the following 10 exercises, answer each question.
According to the New York Times Almanac the mean family size in the United States is 3.18. A sample of a college math class resulted in the following family sizes:
• 5

• 3
• 2
• 7
• 4
• 5
• 2
• 2
• 2
• 3
• 2
At α = 0.05, is the class’s mean family size greater than the national average? Does the Almanac result remain valid? Why?
