Question

A brand of powdered milk is advertised as having a net weight of 250 grams. A curious consumer obtained the net weight of 10 randomly selected cans. The values obtained are: 256, 248, 242, 245, 246, 248, 250, 255, 243, and 249 grams. Is there a reason to believe that the average net weight of the powdered milk cans is less than 250 grams at 10% level of significance? Assume the net weight is normally distributed with unknown population variance.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
