Question:
Evaluate the strength of evidence for the hypotheses in the previous question.
a. Find the p-value for the hypotheses in the previous question using a simulation-based approach.
b. Based on the p-value evaluate the strength of evidence and state a conclusion about diseased sharks.
c. To which population, if any, are you comfortable drawing your conclusion? Why?
d. If a theory-based approach would be reasonable for these data, find the p-value and comment on the similarity of the p-value from the theory-based approach to the p-value you found in (a). If a theory-based based approach would not be reasonable for these data, explain why not.
A zoologist at a large metropolitan zoo is concerned about a potential new disease present among the 243 sharks living in the large aquarium at the zoo. The zoologist takes a random sample of 15 sharks from the aquarium, temporarily removes the sharks from the tank, and tests them for the disease. He finds that 3 of the sharks have the disease.
