Problem

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level that the bags are underfilled? Assume the population is normally distributed. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario. Answer 2 Points

Solution

Step 1 :State the null and alternative hypotheses for the scenario.

Step 2 :The null hypothesis (H0) is that the bags are filled correctly, i.e., the mean weight of the bags is 444 grams.

Step 3 :The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the bags are underfilled, i.e., the mean weight of the bags is less than 444 grams.

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{The null hypothesis (H0): The mean weight of the bags is 444 grams.}}\)

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{The alternative hypothesis (H1): The mean weight of the bags is less than 444 grams.}}\)
