The tremendous growth of the Florida lobster (called spiny
Chapter 10, Problem 75E(choose chapter or problem)
The tremendous growth of the Florida lobster (called spiny lobster) industry over the past 20 years has made it the state's second most valuable fishery industry. A declaration by the Bahamian government that prohibits U.S. lobsterers from fishing on the Bahamian portion of the continental shelf was expected to reduce dramatically the landings in pounds per lobster trap. According to the records, the prior mean landings per trap was pounds. A random sampling of 20 lobster traps since the Bahamian fishing restriction went into effect gave the following results (in pounds):
Do these landings provide sufficient evidence to support the contention that the mean landings per trap has decreased since imposition of the Bahamian restrictions? Test using \(\alpha=0.5\)
