Suppose that, in 1995, the weight of 16-year old males in the united states was normally distributed with a mean of 143 lbs and standard deviation equal to 15 lbs. suppose that roger, a public health researcher, believes that the popularity of video and computer gaming has made teenagers less active, and predicts that 16-year old males today weigh more than 16-year old males did in 1995. to test the theory, he chooses a random sample of 50 16-year old males and records their weights. the average weight of the sample is 147 lbs. roger uses a z ‑ test to test the hypothesis that the average weight of 16-year old males has increased. he calculates the z ‑ statistic as 1.89 standard deviations above the mean. use this standard normal z-distribution table to calculate the p-value of this statistic. give your answer as a decimal rounded to four places. also how to determin if this is a one-sided or two-sided test?
