The mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 138 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 40 bottles indicates a sample mean of 136.9 mg?
State the hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content. | |
a. | H0: μ = 138 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 138 mg |
b. | H0: μ ≤ 138 mg vs. H1: μ > 138 mg |
c. | H0: μ ≥ 138 mg vs. H1: μ < 138 mg |
Assuming a known standard deviation of 1.8 mg, calculate the z test statistic to test the manufacturer’s claim. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.) |
