Answer:
No, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled
Step-by-step explanation:
A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting.
This means that the null hypothesis is:
It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.
This means that the alternate hypothesis is:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, is the value tested at the null hypothesis,
is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
434 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that
A 9 bag sample had a mean of 431 grams with a variance of 144.
This means that
Value of the test-statistic:
P-value of the test:
The pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -0.75, which is 0.2266
0.2266 > 0.01, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.
