Amachine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. a consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars completely. a sample of 8 jars has a mean of 15.6 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces. assume that the distribution of data is normal. at 10% significance level is there enough evidence to support the consumer’s suspicion that the machine is not filling the jars completely, and the amount of coffee in a cup is less than 16 ounces when filled? answer the question by completing the steps below.
a. state the null and the alternative hypotheses
b. show calculations and state whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.
c. state your conclusion addressing the original claim.

a) Null hypothesis:    

Alternative hypothesis :  

b)  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

represent the mean for the sample

represent the sample standard deviation  

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test  

represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

Is a one tailed left test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

Null hypothesis:    

Alternative hypothesis :  

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:  

(1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.
