Glucose Level: Horses Gentle Ben is a Morgan horse at a Colorado dude ranch. Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from this horse (in mg/100 ml). 93 88 82 105 99 110 84 89 The sample mean is Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that The mean glucose level for horses should be (Reference: Merck Veterinary Manual). Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use a 0.05.

QUESTION:
Glucose Level: Horses Gentle Ben is a Morgan horse at a Colorado dude ranch. Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from this horse (in mg/100 ml). 93 88 82 105 99 110 84 89 The sample mean is Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that The mean glucose level for horses should be (Reference: Merck Veterinary Manual). Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use a 0.05.
ANSWER:To answer this question, we will first compute the sample mean of the given data:
????¯ = (93 + 88 + 82 + 105 + 99 + 110 + 84 + 89)/8 = 93.
Since the sample mean (93) is higher than the mean glucose level for horses (85) and we need to use a signifi
