Previously all of their cereal boxes had a mean weight of 10oz with a standard deviation of 2oz. In a new sample of 50 boxes it was found that they had a mean weight of 10oz with a standard deviation of 1oz. Which is the appropriate alternative hypothesis if σrepresents the old standard deviation and σ2 represents the new standard deviation.
