a manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 400 gram setting. based on a 25 bag sample where the mean is 399 grams and the variance is 400, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.025 level that the bags are underfilled? assume the population distribution is approximately normal. find the value of the test statistic. round your answer to three decimal places.

Respuesta :

Using the t test statistic, the value of the test statistic is 1.25.

In the given question we have to find the value of the test statistic.

A manufacturer of chocolate potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 400 gram setting.

= 400

A 25 bag sample had a mean of 399 grams and the variance is 400.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.025 level that the bags are underfilled.

Sample size(n) = 25

sample Mean = 399

Sample Variance = 400

Standard Deviation = √Sample Variance

Standard Deviation = √400

Standard Deviation = 20

Population Mean = 400

So , the null and alternative hypothesis are

H0 : μ = 400

Ha : μ < 400

Using the sample t test statistic

t = (Population Mean - Sample Mean)/(Standard Deviation/Sample size)

t = (400 - 399)/(20/25)

t = 1*25/20

t = 1.25
