Using the wrong distribution: When testing a claim about a population mean with a simple random sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown standard deviation of all values in a population, the student t distribution should be used for finding critical values and/or a p-value. If the standard normal dist

When a water taxi sank in the Baltimore Inner Harbor, an investigation revealed that the safe passenger load for the water taxi was 3500 lbs. It was also noted that the mean weight of a passenger was assumed to be 140 lbs. Assume a "worst case" scenario in which all the passengers are adult men. (This could easily occur in a
