Answer:
Null Hypothesis, : = 24.5 ounces
Alternate Hypothesis, : 24.5 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the makers of Mini-Oats cereal have an automated packaging machine that is set to fill boxes with 24.5 ounces of cereal.
On Tuesday morning, at 7:45 a.m., a random sample of 100 boxes produced an average amount of 23.6 ounces.
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>Let </em></u><u><em> = average amount of cereals fitted in the boxes</em></u>
So, Null Hypothesis, : = 24.5 ounces
Alternate Hypothesis, : 24.5 ounces
Here, <u>null hypothesis states that</u> the automated packaging machine fill boxes with 24.5 ounces of cereal.
On the other hand, <u>alternate hypothesis states that</u> the automated packaging machine fill boxes with cereal different from 24.5 ounces.
So, this would be the appropriate hypothesis for conducting the test.
