Question

The weight of a carton of a dozen eggs produced by a certain breed of hens is supposed to be normally distributed with a mean of 780 grams. A quality manager randomly checks thirty-five cartons of eggs (n = 35) to see whether the mean weight differs from 780 grams. She finds x̄ = 796.

1. What is the parameter of interest?

The mean weight of 35 cartons of eggs produced by a certain breed of hens
The mean weight of all cartons of eggs produced by a certain breed of hens
The weight of all cartons of eggs produced by a certain breed of hens
The mean weight of all eggs produced by a certain breed of hens
 
2.What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

H 0: μ = 780 vs. H a: μ ≠ 780

H 0: μ = 780 vs. H a:μ < 780

H 0: μ = 780 vs. H a: μ > 780

H 0:  x̄ = 780 vs. H a:  x̄ ≠ 780
