STAT 200 Week 5 Homework Problems 7.1.4 Stephen Stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec. In 1882, Albert Michelson had collected measurements on the speed of light ("Student t-distribution," 2013). Is there evidence to show that Michelson’s data is different from Stigler’s value of the speed of light? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. Yes, Michelson’s data is different from Stigler’s value. Random variable: speed of light me...
