Explanation / Answer

(b) Given n=20, xbar=11.7, s=0.70
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. H0 : =12

Ha : < 12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. a =0.01
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Test statistics:

t=(xbar-)/(s/n)

=(11.7-12)/(0.7/sqrt(20))

= -1.92
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. P-value or critical z0 or t0.

The criticial value is t(0.01, df=n-1=19)= -2.53 (check student t table)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Rejection Region:

If t<-2.53, reject Ho


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Decision:

Since t=-1.92>-2.53, we do not reject Ho.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Interpretation:

So we can conclude that the agency’s claim that the brewery is not cheating its customers
