LSU's Ag. Center wants to determine whether the mean yield for sugarcane is different this year compared to the historical avg of 8,700 lbs of sugar per acre. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are       Ho: mu = 8,700      Ha: mu is not = to 8,700  You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 100 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 8,853 and a std deviation of 1,150. What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test?

     Ho: mu = 8,700
     Ha: mu is not = to 8,700 
You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 100 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 8,853 and a std deviation of 1,150. 

What are the bounds for the acceptance region for this hypothesis test?
