A kilo restaurant implemented a change in the composition and presentation of its dishes. We want to assess whether the average weight of meals served is greater after the changes, compared to the previous average, which was 640. For this purpose, the weights of dishes from a random sample of 10 customers were taken. The average weight of dishes in the sample was 656 and the variance 144. Use a statistical test for the evaluation. Adopt a significance level of 10%. a. What is the distribution of the test statistic?  b. What kind of alternative hypothesis?  c.  What is the test's critical value (the value that defines the critical region), on the scale of the test statistic? (If the test is bilateral, enter only one of the values.)

Use a statistical test for the evaluation. Adopt a significance level of 10%.

a. What is the distribution of the test statistic? 
b. What kind of alternative hypothesis? 
c.  What is the test's critical value (the value that defines the critical region), on the scale of the test statistic? (If the test is bilateral, enter only one of the values.)
