According to a report published by the USDA 3 years ago, a typical American consumes an average of 26 pounds of ice cream per year. A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method.
