16. Suppose it is thought that the eggshell thickness for a certain species of bird in a certain area has a median of .40 mm. A random sample of 12 eggs from this type of bird are found to have shell thicknesses of: .32, 32, .33, .33. .34, .36, .36. .36. .37, 37, .45, .55 Suppose we wish to use the sign test to test the null hypothesis that the population median shell thickness is .40, against a two-sided alternative hypothesis. The p-value of this test is closest to which one of the following? (a) .01 (b) .02 (c) .03 x (d) .04 (e) .05
