Central Limit Theorem and single sample hypothesis test
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)

Solution Summary
In this problem, we use the central limit theorem to find the distribution of a sample mean. Then we use that distribution to find the probability that the sample mean from a random sample exceeds a particular value. The probability we find is converted into the p-value then used to test the hypothesis of interest.
