Wheaties cereal is claimed to have an average of 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving. We want to test this hypothesis and to see whether we believe that is true or that the mean amount of fiber is significantly different from 3 grams. A random sample of 25 servings was taken and it yielded a sample mean of 3.4 grams with the sample standard deviation in the amount of fiber, s = .8 grams. Assume that software has determined the p-value to be.02.
What would your decision be on this hypothesis test if everything is the same except that we change the level of significance for the test to.01?
Fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 1% level of significance.
Reject the null hypothesis at the 1% level of significance,
