Suppose that in the preceding exercise the first measurement is recorded incorrectly as 16.0 instead of 14.5.
Question:
Suppose that in the preceding exercise the first measurement is recorded incorrectly as 16.0 instead of 14.5. Show that, even though the mean of the sample increases to \(\bar{x}=14.7\), the null hypothesis \(H_{0}: \mu=\) 14.0 is not rejected at level \(\alpha=0.05\). Explain the apparent paradox that even though the difference between observed \(\bar{x}\) and \(\mu\) has increased, the null hypothesis is no longer rejected.
