### Statistical Analysis on Soda Weights

#### Problem Scenario:
You are tasked with analyzing the weights of diet soda cans compared to regular soda cans. The data, which considers independent simple random samples from normally distributed populations (with unequal population standard deviations), is summarized as follows:

#### Data Summary:
- **Diet Soda (μ₁):**
  - Sample size (n): 40
  - Sample mean (x̄): 0.78213 lb
  - Sample standard deviation (s): 0.00435 lb

- **Regular Soda (μ₂):**
  - Sample size (n): 40
  - Sample mean (x̄): 0.81637 lb
  - Sample standard deviation (s): 0.00758 lb

### Hypothesis Testing:
Using a significance level of 0.05, perform the following:

#### Part (a): Hypothesis Testing
Test the claim that the contents of diet soda cans have weights with a mean that is less than that for regular soda cans.

- **Null and Alternative Hypotheses:**
  - Option A: \( H_0: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2 \)  
    \( H_1: \mu_1 < \mu_2 \)
  - **Option B:** \( H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 \)  
    \( H_1: \mu_1 < \mu_2 \)
  - Option C: \( H_0: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2 \)  
    \( H_1: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2 \)
  - Option D: \( H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 \)  
    \( H_1: \mu_1 > \mu_2 \)

- **Test Statistic:**
  - Compute \( t \)-value: \( \_\_\_ \) (Round to two decimal places)

- **P-value:**
  - Compute the P-value: \( \_\_\_ \) (Round to three decimal places)

- **Conclusion:**
  - Option A: Reject the null hypothesis. No sufficient evidence to support the diet soda cans having lower mean weights.
  - **Option B:** Fail to reject the null hypothesis. Sufficient evidence supports diet soda cans having lower mean weights.
  - Option C: Fail to reject
