1. A consumer group claims that the mean annual consumption of cheddar cheese by a person in
the United States is at most 10.3 pounds. A random sample of 100 people in the United States has
a mean annual cheddar cheese consumption of 9.9 pounds. Assume the population standard
deviation is 2.1 pounds. At a = 0.05, can you reject the claim? (Adapted from U.S. Department of
Agriculture)
State the hypotheses:
Calculate the test statistic:
Calculate the P-value:
Conclusion (reject or fail to reject Ho):
2. The CEO of a manufacturing facility claims that the mean workday of the company's assembly
