Question

A consumer group is investigating a producer of diet meals to examine if its prepackaged meals actually contain the advertised 6 ounces of protein in each package. Assume the weights of all the prepackaged meals are normally distributed. Based on the following data, is there any evidence that the meals do not contain the advertised amount of protein? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. A. What are the appropriate hypotheses? B. What is the critical value(s) of the test? C. What is the test statistic? D. What is the decision rule using the critical values? E. What is the p-value of the test? G. What is your decision?

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.
