Question:

54 Colored string preferred by chickens. Applied Animal Behaviour Science (October 2000) performed a study of domestic chickens exposed to a pecking stimulus. The average number of pecks a chicken takes at a white string over a specified time interval is known to be m = 7.5 pecks. In an experiment in which 72 chickens were exposed to blue string, the average number of pecks was x = 1.13 pecks, with a standard deviation of s = 2.21 pecks.

a. On average, are chickens more apt to peck at white string than at blue string? Conduct the appropriate test of hypothesis, using a = .05.

c. Find the p -value for the test and interpret it.
