A certain soft drink advertises that their drink contains 14g of carbohydrates with a variance of 2.56g. You work for a nutritional health agency and are asked to test this claim because many consumers believe that the carbohydrates level is lower. You find that a random sample of 60 soft drinks have mean carbohydrates level of 13.82g. At the 5% level, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? a. Which of the following statistical tests is most appropriate in this scenario? Two-Tailed Z-Test One-Tailed Z-Test Two-Tailed T-Test One-Tailed T-Test b. What are the appropriate hypotheses for the test? Ho : µ = 14g H1 :u+14g Ho : µ # 13.82gHị : µ = 13.82g Ho : µ = 14g H1 : 4> 14g Ho : µ = 14g H1 : H< 14g c. After conducting the appropriate significance test, the test statistic was found to be -0.8714. Therefore, the conclusion for the test is: May reject Ho, because p-value is less than 0.05 Fail to reject H, because -0.8741 falls outside the critical region May reject Ho, because -0.8714 falls within the critical region O Fail to reject Ho, because p-value is greater than 0.05

Question
A certain soft drink advertises that their drink contains 14g of carbohydrates with a variance of 2.56g. You work for a nutritional health agency and are
asked to test this claim because many consumers believe that the carbohydrates level is lower. You find that a random sample of 60 soft drinks have
mean carbohydrates level of 13.82g. At the 5% level, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim?
a. Which of the following statistical tests is most appropriate in this scenario?
Two-Tailed Z-Test
One-Tailed Z-Test
Two-Tailed T-Test
One-Tailed T-Test
b. What are the appropriate hypotheses for the test?
Ho : µ = 14g H1 :u#14g
Ho : µ # 13.82gHị : µ = 13.82g
Ho : µ = 14g H1 : 4> 14g
Ho : µ = 14g H1 : H< 14g
c. After conducting the appropriate significance test, the test statistic was found to be -0.8714.
Therefore, the conclusion for the test is:
May reject Ho, because p-value is less than 0.05
Fail to reject H, because -0.8741 falls outside the critical region
May reject Ho, because -0.8714 falls within the critical region
O Fail to reject Ho, because p-value is greater than 0.05
