A brewery distributes beer in bottles labeled 32oz. The local Consumer Association randomly selects 30 of these bottles, measures their contents and obtains a sample mean of 31oz. Given that the population standard deviation is known to be 2.8oz, can the Consumer Association conclude, at the 1% level of significance that the brewery is cheating consumers (underfilling beer bottles)? Use the p-value approach to answer this question.
