15. Pig farmers in Shaktoolik, Alaska are  trying  to sell pork  as the "other white meat  besides chicken"  (according to the Shaktoolik  News), claiming  to evolved a leaner more efficient breed of pig. One of the claimed advantages of this new breed of pig is that  it  takes  substantially less time for  a  pig to  reach  the  final  market weight (thus saving the farmer money in feeding and tending).  Based on a national standard the average pig usually takes 160 days of breeding  time with a standard deviation of 40 days.  The agricultural researchers from the University  of the North randomly selected 81 new breed pigs and determined their average breeding days to be 170 days.  At a  twenty  significance  level test the  claim  that  the  new breed  of Shaktoolik  pigs have  the  same  breeding  time .  Assume  the  population  standard deviation is known.
