Question: Bags of certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 ounces. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are normally distributed with mean µ. A researcher of consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses. To do this she selects 16 bags of brand at random and determines the net weight of each. She finds the sample mean to be =13.88 and the sample standard deviation to be s =0.24. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? What is the p-value of the test? Is the test significant at α=0.05 or α=0.01. Is the researcher deems the data to be statistically significance?
