Question

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 428428 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling or overfilling the bags. A 7171 bag sample had a mean of 433433 grams with a variance of 441441. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.010.01 will be used. Specify the type of hypothesis test.

Answer 1

Answer:

z-test

Step-by-step explanation:

-A z-test is a test used to determine the difference in two population means of known variances.

-The sample size has to be large enough, $n\geq 30$(n=71).

-And, the population must follow a normal distribution.

-Since our sample meets all the above conditions, the hypothesis test used is a z-test
