Discredit the hypothesis that the weights


The weights of 300 adult men were determined and employed to test hypothesis that the weights were normally distributed with the mean of 160 lb and standard deviation of 15 lb. The data were grouped in the following classes:

Weight (x) Observed Frequency

x < 130 7

130 ≤ x < 145 38

145 ≤ x < 160 100

160 ≤ x < 175 102

175 ≤ x < 190 40

190 ≤ x 13

From the normal table, the percentages for classes are 2.28%, 13.59%, 34.13%, 34.13%, 13.59%, and 2.28%, respectively. Do observed frequency data provide significant reason to discredit the hypothesis that the weights are normally distributed with the mean of 160 lb and standard deviation of 15 lb? Employ α = 0.05.
