A machine in the student lounge dispenses coffee. The average cup of coffee is supposed to contain 7.0 ounces. A random sample of six cups of coffee from this machine show the average content to be 7.3 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.70 ounce. Do you think that the machine has slipped out of adjustment and that the average amount of coffee per cup is different from 7 ounces? Use a 5% level of significance. State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: μ = 7; H1: μ < 7H0: μ = 7; H1: μ ≠ 7 H0: p = 7; H1: p ≠ 7H0: μ = 7; H1: μ > 7H0: p = 7; H1: p < 7H0: p = 7; H1: p > 7 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ.The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ. The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ.The Student's t, since n is large with unknown σ. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. P-value > 0.5000.250 < P-value < 0.500 0.100 < P-value < 0.2500.050 < P-value < 0.1000.010 < P-value < 0.050P-value < 0.010
