In a plant nursery, the owner thinks that the length of the seedlings in a box sprayed with a new kind of
fertilizer has an average height of 26 cm after three days and a standard deviation of 10 cm. The
researcher randomly selected 80 such seedlings and calculated the mean height to be 20 cm and the
standard deviation was 10 cm. Is the sample mean lesser than the population mean? Proceed with the
