Imagine that some animal rights activists take a random sample of the population of 'pet hoarders' in Western New York (WNY) and count the number of pets each person has. The mean pet ownership rate for all pet hoarders in the US is 14.5 pets per person. This particular sample (N=36) has a mean ownership rate of 12 pets per person (s = 6.79). The researchers hypothesize that WNY pet hoarders have more pets than the national average. They perform a hypothesis test to address this question (alpha=0.01)
