Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Statistical Analysis of Microwave Popcorn Popping Efficiency**
**Introduction:**
Josh conducted an experiment to determine the optimal power and time settings for microwave popcorn. His aim was to achieve a result where fewer than 11% of the popcorn kernels remained unpopped. After various trials, he found that setting the microwave to power 9 for 4 minutes yielded the best results.
**Part A: Error Analysis**
Josh concluded this popping method achieved his goal of fewer than 11% unpopped kernels. If, in reality, the method does not work that well, the error Josh made is a **Type I error** (False positive).
**Part B: Testing the Hypothesis**
To verify the method's success, Josh performed additional tests by popping 8 more bags of popcorn at the same setting. The following are the percentages of unpopped kernels from these tests:
- 12.4%, 2.9%, 8.6%, 8.1%, 13.4%, 3.2%, 2.7%, 9.5%
**Research Question:**
Does this data support Josh's hypothesis that the average percentage of unpopped kernels is fewer than 11%?
**Hypotheses:**
To determine this, we formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as follows:
- **Null hypothesis (\(H_0\))**: \( \mu \geq 11 \)
- **Alternative hypothesis (\(H_A\))**: \( \mu < 11 \)
**Choose the Correct Hypotheses:**
- **A.** \(H_0: \mu = 11 \) \( H_A: \mu < 11 \) (Correct)
- B. \(H_0: \mu \neq 11 \) \( H_A: \mu = 11 \)
- C. \(H_0: \mu = 11 \) \( H_A: \mu \neq 11 \)
- D. \(H_0: \mu = 11 \) \( H_A: \mu > 11 \)
- E. \(H_0: \mu \leq 11 \) \( H_A: \mu = 11 \)
- F. \(H_0: \mu > 11 \) \( H_A: \mu = 11 \)
