Question
A nutritionist claims that the mean tuna consumption by a person is 3.3 pounds per year. A sample of 70 people shows that the mean tuna consumption by a person is 3.1 pounds per year. Assume the population standard deviation is
1.05 pounds. At a = 0.06, can you reject the claim?
Ha: p> 3.1
H3: µs3.1
H, µ#3.3
a
(b) Identify the standardized test statistic.
z= - 1.59 (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(c) Find the P-value.
0.112 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
O B. Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that mean tuna consumption is equal
to 3.3 pounds.
A. Reject Ho- There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that mean tuna consumption is equal to 3.3
pounds.
O C. Fail to reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that mean tuna consumption is equal to
3.3 pounds.
O D. Reject Ho There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that mean tuna consumption is equal to 3.3
pounds.
