New Orleans' Coca Cola bottling center wants to determine whether the mean amount of product in a 12 oz can of Coke is actually 12 ounces. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are       Ho: mu is equal to 12 ounces      Ha: mu is not equal to 12 ounces You want to be extra sure that you aren't under-filling (which would open you up to a lawsuit). Being risk averse, you set out to conduct a hypothesis test at a stringent 99% level. You take a sample of 50 different Coke cans and carefully measure the amount of product. From this sample, you calculate an avg fill of 12.3 ounces, with a standard deviation of 0.75 ounces.  Fill rates are distributed Normally.  What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test? (To two decimal places. ex: 1.23)

Question

New Orleans' Coca Cola bottling center wants to determine whether the mean amount of product in a 12 oz can of Coke is actually 12 ounces. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are 
     Ho: mu is equal to 12 ounces
     Ha: mu is not equal to 12 ounces
You want to be extra sure that you aren't under-filling (which would open you up to a lawsuit). Being risk averse, you set out to conduct a hypothesis test at a stringent 99% level. You take a sample of 50 different Coke cans and carefully measure the amount of product. From this sample, you calculate an avg fill of 12.3 ounces, with a standard deviation of 0.75 ounces.  Fill rates are distributed Normally. 

What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test? (To two decimal places. ex: 1.23)
