### Analysis of Soda Can Weights: Diet vs. Regular

Data on the weights (lb) of the contents of cans of diet soda versus the contents of cans of the regular version is summarized below. Assume the two samples are independent, simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume the population standard deviations are equal. A 0.01 significance level is used for both parts.

#### Summary of Data:
- **Mean (μ):**
  - Diet: \( \mu_1 = 0.78797 \) lb
  - Regular: \( \mu_2 = 0.80081 \) lb
- **Sample size (n):**
  - Both Diet and Regular: \( n = 24 \)
- **Standard deviation (s):**
  - Diet: \( s = 0.00438 \) lb
  - Regular: \( s = 0.00741 \) lb

### Hypothesis Testing

#### (a) Test the Claim
**Objective:** Determine if the mean weight of diet soda cans is less than that of regular soda.

1. **Formulate Hypotheses:**
   - **A.** \( H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 \) (Null Hypothesis)
   - **H_1: \mu_1 < \mu_2 \) (Alternative Hypothesis)

2. **Analysis Steps:**
   - **Test Statistic \( t \):** (Fill in the calculated value, rounded to two decimal places.)
   - **P-value:** (Fill in the calculated value, rounded to three decimal places.)

3. **Conclusion:**
   - **Choices:**
     - **A:** Reject \( H_0 \), sufficient evidence to support \( \mu_1 < \mu_2 \).
     - **B:** Reject \( H_0 \), insufficient evidence.
     - **C:** Fail to reject \( H_0 \), sufficient evidence.
     - **D:** Fail to reject \( H_0 \), insufficient evidence.

#### (b) Confidence Interval
**Construct a confidence interval for the hypothesis test in part (a).**

- **Interval:** Calculate and fill in: \( \text{lb} < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < \text{lb} \) (rounded to three decimal places).

**Conclusion Based on Confidence Interval:**
- Does it support the hypothesis
