Biologists have identified two subspecies of largemouth bass swimming in US waters, the Florida largemouth bass and the Northern largemouth bass. The mean weight for Florida species is 11 pounds, mean weight for Northern species is 7 pounds. On two recent fishing trips you have recorded the weights of fish you have captured and released. Use this data to test the biologists claim that the mean weight of the Florida bass is different from the mean weight of the Northern bass. Use ? =0.10 level of significance. List the (a) original claim, (b) the null and hypothesis statements, (c) any critical values, (d) the test statistic, and (e) the final conclusion based on the original claim.
Florida bass weights, in pounds: 5 6 5 8 12 11 10 7 16 13
Northern bass weights, in pounds: 5 8 3 4 7 10 12 9 6 10
