Answer:
No because there is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the mean contents of cola bottles is equal to 300 ml as advertised
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the measured contents as
299.4
297.7
301.0
298.9
300.2
297.0
Total = 1794.2
∴ Mean = 299.03
Standard deviation = 1.5
We have
Where:
= Mean of sample = 299.03 ml
μ = Mean of population = 300 ml
σ = Standard deviation of population = 3 ml
n = Sample size = 6
α = 5% = 0.05
We set our null hypothesis as H₀ = 300 ml
Our alternative hypothesis is then Hₐ < 300 ml
Therefore, z = -0.792
The probability from z table is P = 0.2142
Since the P value, 0.2142 is > than the 5% significance level, 0.05 we accept the null hypothesis that the mean contents of cola bottles is 300 ml.
