a) Choose an appropriate test procedure and write that procedure here. b) State any assumptions or conditions regarding your sample and/or the population that are necessary for the test procedure you have chosen. c) Compute the correct test statistic value and record that value here to 3 decimal places (X.XXX). d) Compute the correct p-value based on both the test statistic and your hypotheses and record that p-value here to 5 decimal places (X.XXXXX), and e) Using a significance level of 5%, state clearly if you are rejecting the null hypothesis or failing to reject the null hypothesis

Question

The "Jupiter Bar" is a candy bar that is only manufactured and sold in one size. Tens of thousands of bars are manufactured every day. Nutritional content appears on the bar's wrapper, including a statement that a given bar has a sodium content of 96 milligrams

Due to variability inherent in all manufacturing, we know that some bars would have slightly less than 96 milligrams of sodium and some bars would have more than 96 milligrams of sodium even if the value of "96 milligrams" appears on the wrapper. However, there is a concern that the average sodium content in all Jupiter Bars is actually more than 96 milligrams, and we have been asked to investigate.

Here are the summary statistcs of sodium measurements (in milligrams) from a sample of 36 Jupiter Bars: n=36 sample mean=100.55 sample standard deviation=6.34 Q1=97; median=101; Q3=104; Min=82; Max=108

3) Based on the context of the question we are investigating and the nature of our sample data:

a) Choose an appropriate test procedure and write that procedure here.

b) State any assumptions or conditions regarding your sample and/or the population that are necessary for the test procedure you have chosen.

c) Compute the correct test statistic value and record that value here to 3 decimal places (X.XXX).

d) Compute the correct p-value based on both the test statistic and your hypotheses and record that p-value here to 5 decimal places (X.XXXXX), and

e) Using a significance level of 5%, state clearly if you are rejecting the null hypothesis or failing to reject the null hypothesis
