What is the actual mean weight of newborn


Discussion:

A medical research study showed that the average weight of a newborn twin in 1988 was 5.1 lb. To determine if this year's average exceeds the 1988 mean of 5.1 lb., we would test the hypothesis;

Ho (null hypothesis): mu = 5.1 lb.
Ha (alternative hypothesis): mu > 5.1 lb.

Where mu is the actual mean weight of newborn twins born this year.

Suppose you take a random sample of 36 newborn twins. Assuming that the null hypothesis is true, find the probability of getting a sample mean of 5.5 lb. or greater. (use 1.00 lb. as the population standard deviation)
