Question


You have just taken ownership of a pizza shop. The previous owner told you that you would save money if you bought the mozzarella cheese in a 4.5 pound slab on the average. Each time you purchase a slab of cheese, you weigh it to ensure that you are receiving a standard deviation of 72 ounces of cheese. The results of 7 random measurements are 70, 69, 73, 68, 71, 69 and 71 ounces. Are these differences due to chance or is the distributor giving you less cheese than you deserve?
i. State the hypotheses.
