Can you help with parts d,e,f. Please and thank you.

Calvin, president of the company that makes Cocoa Bombs cereal, claims the weight of a box of Cocoa Bombs is normally distributed with a mean of 18 ounces and a standard deviation of ½ ounce.  Calvin recognizes that it is important for boxes to contain exactly 18 ounces of cereal because underweight boxes can generate costly attacks from consumer groups and overweight boxes increase cost because they contain too much cereal.  During a quality control check, Calvin takes a random sample of 100 cereal boxes and determines the sample mean weight is 17.9 ounces.

 

​a.​State the null and alternative hypothesis that would be used to test the claim that a box of Cocoa Bombs contains exactly 18 ounces of cereal.  

b.​What is the appropriate test statistic?  

c. ​Determine the critical value(s) for this test using a 5% significance level. 

d.​Calculate the value of the test statistic. 

e.​What is your decision and conclusion? 

​f.​What p-value is associated with this sample result?
