Question

A manufacturer claims that a certain brand of cold tablets contains an average 600 mg of acetaminophen. To test this claim, a researcher creates a random sample of 32 tablets. The mean of this sample is 631.7 mg, and the standard deviation is 62.3 mg. Test the claim using a level of significance of 1%.

  1. What type of test will be used in this problem?

 



  • What evidence justifies the use of this test? Check all that apply
    • The original population is approximately normal
    • The population standard deviation is not known
    • The sample standard deviation is not known
    • There are two different samples being compared
    • np>5

and nq>5

    •  
    • The sample size is larger than 30
    • The population standard deviation is known


  • Enter the null hypothesis for this test.
    H0


  • Enter the alternative hypothesis for this test.
    H1:


  • Is the original claim located in the null or alternative hypothesis?


  • What is the test statistic for the given statistics?


  • What is the p-value for this test?


  • What is the decision based on the given statistics?


  • What is the correct interpretation of this decision?

    Using a % level of significance, there

sufficient evidence to the claim that a certain brand of cold tablets contains an average 600 mg of acetaminophen.
