Question

Dole Pineapple Inc. is concerned that the 466 mL can of sliced pineapple is being overfilled. The population standard deviation is 0.88 mL. The quality control department took a random sample of 50 cans and found that the arithmetic mean volume was 467.3 mL.

At the 0.10 level of significance, can we conclude that the mean volume is greater than 466 mL?

a. What is the decision rule? (Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)

Reject H₀: μ ≤ 466 and accept H₁: μ > 466 when the test statistic is  (Click to select)  less than greater than equal to     .

b. What is the value of the test statistic? (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Value of the test statistic =            

c. What is your decision regarding H₀?

There is  (Click to select)  not enough / enough evidence to conclude that the cans are being overfilled.

d. What is the p-value?

The p-value is            

Answer 1

Here p-value = 0 < α = 0.10

Therefore Reject Ho

There is enough evidence to conclude that the cans are being overfilled
