Question: The heights are measured for the simple random sample of supermodels Crawford, Bundchen, Pestova, Christenson, Hume, Moss, Campbell, Schiffer, and Taylor. They have a mean

The heights are measured for the simple random sample of supermodels Crawford, Bundchen, Pestova, Christenson, Hume, Moss, Campbell, Schiffer, and Taylor. They have a mean height of 70.0 in. and a standard deviation of 1.5 in. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean height of 63.6 in. for women in the general population. Given that there are only nine heights represented, can we really conclude that supermodels are taller than the typical woman?

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the traditional method or P-value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
