Dole Pineapple Inc. is concerned that the 16-ounce can of slicedpineapple is being overfilled. Assume the population standarddeviation of the process is .04 ounce. The quality controldepartment took a random sample of 60 cans and found that thearithmetic mean weight was 16.05 ounces. At the 3% level ofsignificance (Step 2), can we conclude that the mean weight isgreater than 16 ounces?
Step 1: State the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternatehypothesis (H1). (insert >, >, =,< or <) whereappropriate. Ho: ? ______ 16 H1: ? _______16
Step 2: you select the level of significance, =.03 (Given inproblem description)
Step 3: Identify the test statistic (circle ‘t distribution’ or‘Normal Curve (z)’) use the t distribution or Normal Curve (z)
Step 4: Formulate the decision rule Reject Ho if_______________________
Step 5: Take a sample arrive at a decision
Step 6: Interpret the results (circle ‘Reject’ or ‘Accept’)circle ‘are’ or ‘are not’) Reject or Accept Ho. The cans are or arenot being overfilled.
