Question

A chip company claims that their 28 gram bags of chips contain an average of at most 36.5 milligrams of factory filth. To test this claim, you take a simple random sample of thirty 28 gram bags of chips. You find the sample has a mean factory filth content of 37.4 milligrams. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation σ= 2.8 milligrams. At α= 0.10 , can you reject the company's claim?

Write the null and alternative hypotheses for the given claim using the appropriate symbols.
Sketch a graph showing the rejection and non-rejection regions.
Determine the value of the test statistic and the outcome of the test

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
