Amachine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. a consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars completely. a sample of 8 jars has a mean of 15.6 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces. assume that the distribution of data is normal. at 10% significance level is there enough evidence to support the consumer’s suspicion that the machine is not filling the jars completely, and the amount of coffee in a cup is less than 16 ounces when filled? answer the question by completing the steps below.
a. state the null and the alternative hypotheses
b. show calculations and state whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.
c. state your conclusion addressing the original claim.

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

b) $t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=15.6$ represent the mean for the sample

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation

n=8 sample size

$\mu_o =16$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Is a one tailed left test.

What are H0 and Ha for this study?

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
