Question
In anthropological studies, an important characteristic of fossils is crani pacity. Frequently skulls are at least partially decomposed, so it is necessary to use other characteristics to obtain information about cranial capacity. One measure that has been used is the length of the lambda-opisthion chord. An
article reported the accompanying data for n = 7 Homo erectus fossils.

Suppose that from previous evidence, anthropologists had believed that for each 1 mm increase in chord length, cranial capacity would be expected to increase by 20 cm³. Do the data given here strongly contradict prior belief? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
t = 1.39
x
Use technology to find the P-value for this test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
P-value = 0.2160X
