3. After receiving complaints from McDonald’s customers in Japan about the amount of french fries being served, the on-line news magazine ”Rocket News” decided to test the actual weight of the fries served at a particular Japanese McDonald’s restaurant. According to the Rocket News article, the official weight standard set by McDonald’s of Japan is for a medium sized fries to weigh 135 grams. The publication weighed the fries from 36 different medium fries they purchased and found the average weight of the fries in their sample to be 130 grams with a variance of 225 grams. Research Question: Does the data suggest that the medium fries from this McDonald’s in Japan are underpacked? Use α =0.05. (a) Which of the following is the H0 ? (null) A.H0:μ ̸= 135 B.H0:x ̸= 135 C.H0:μ ≥ 130 D.H0:x ≥ 130 E.H0:μ ≤ 135 F.H0:x ≤ 135 G.H0:μ ≥ 135 H.H0:x ≥ 135 I.

Please help me in answering the following practice question:Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?Thank you for your help in advance!
Meteorologists in Texas want to increase the amount of rain delivered by thunderheads by seeding the clouds. Without seeding, thunderheads produce, on average, 300 acre feet. The meteorologists randomly selected 30 clouds which they seeded with silver iodide to test their theory that average acre feet of rain produced is more than 300. Which of the following is the most appropriate test for this data? a. One Sample t Test b. Sign Test c. One Proportion Z Test

A pharmaceutical company states that there is 500mg of active ingredient in each capsule for one of the medicines they manufacture. However, the FDA believes the company is purposely underfilling the capsule to save money. A sample of 20 capsules is taken and the amount of active ingredient inside is measured. The results are below: 484 460 471 512 494 529 494 485 474 502 503 538 466 495 475 529 518 464 449 489 Part 1: Construct a 95% confidence interval using toolPAK for the amount of active ingredient measured. Use the appropriate distribution, and specify the upper and lower limits of the interval. Part 2: Carefully interpret the 95% confidence interval? What if you did constructed a Confidence Interval Manually? Part 3: Does the 95% confidence interval support the FDA’s claim? Explain. Part 4: Would your answer change if the confidence level was lowered to 75%? Explain.
