I am planning my second trip to Sweden. Of course, I had read about the country and one article stated the average woman there is 69 inches tall with a standard deviation of 2 inches. What do you think the probability is the first woman I meet is taller than 70 inches? During my last trip there, I met 4 women and the average height of all 4 women was 71 inches. Using .05 significance level, should I agree with the findings in the scientific journal or should I dispute it?
