Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence that the mean amount of cereal in each box is different from 16 ounces at 0.05 significance.
<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is not different to 16 ounces, that is:
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is different, hence:
The test statistic is:
In which:
is the sample mean.
is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
is the standard deviation of the population.
- n is the sample size.
The parameters for this problem are:
.
Hence:
z = -2.1
<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion?</h3>Using a z-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with z = -2.1, the p-value is of 0.0357.
Since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence that the mean amount of cereal in each box is different from 16 ounces at 0.05 significance.

Answer:
- One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
- Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
- Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556
In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.
========================================================
Explanation:
Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.
The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side
The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.
We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.
A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
-----------------
Let's solve for x
A/C = B/D
8/18 = x/8
8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply
64 = 18x
18x = 64
x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18
x = 32/9 exactly in fraction form
x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form
-------------------
Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.
