Question

A production line operation is designed to fill cartons with laundry detergent to a mean weight of 32 ounces. A sample of cartons is periodically selected and weighed to determine whether underfilling or overfilling is occurring. If the sample data lead to a conclusion of underfilling or overfilling, the production line will be shut down and adjusted to obtain proper filling. (a) Choose the null and alternative hypotheses that will help in deciding whether to shut down and adjust the production line. H0: - Select your answer - Ha: - Select your answer - (b) Comment on the conclusion and the decision when H0 cannot be rejected. The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. (c) Comment on the conclusion and the decision when H0 can

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a mean of 32. The claim here is that the mean is 32.

Therefore, the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, would be:

H0 : u = 32

Ha: u ≠ 32

b) When we fail to reject null hypothesis, H0. This means that the mean weight, u = 32

Conclusion:  There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is overfilling or underfilling.

c) When null hypothesis, H0 is rejected. This means the mean weight, u ≠ 32.

Conclusion: There is enough evidence to conclude that overfilling or underfilling exists
