Textbook Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 2P
If you give a child in kindergarten or first grade a bunch of beads or other small objects and ask the child to show you what the 3 in 35 stands for, the child might show you 3 of the beads. You might be tempted to respond that the 3 really stands for “thirty” and not 3. Of course it’s true that the 3 does stand for thirty, but is there a better way you could respond, so as to draw attention to the base-ten system? How could you organize the beads to make your point?

- Definition of null hypothesis from the textbook Definition of alternative hypothesis from the textbook Imagine this: you suspect your beloved Chicken McNugget is shrinking. Inflation is hitting everything else, so why not the humble nugget too, right? But your sibling thinks you’re just being dramatic—maybe you’re just extra hungry today. Determined to prove them wrong, you take matters (and nuggets) into your own hands. You march into McDonald’s, get two 20-piece boxes, and head home like a scientist on a mission. Now, before you start weighing each nugget like they’re precious gold nuggets, let’s talk hypotheses. The average weight of nuggets as mentioned on the box is 16 g each. Develop your null and alternative hypotheses separately. Next, you weigh each nugget with the precision of a jeweler and find they average out to 15.5 grams. You also conduct a statistical analysis, and the p-value turns out to be 0.01. Based on this information, answer the following questions.
