Solution

The null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1) are as follows:

H0: μ = 8.17 ounces (The population mean amount is 8.17 ounces) H1: μ ≠ 8.17 ounces (The population mean amount is not 8.17 ounces)

To test these hypotheses, we will use a t-test. The t-value is calculated as follows:

t = (sample mean - population mean) / (sample standard deviation / sqrt(sample size))

t = (8.171 - 8.17) / (0.053 / sqrt(50))

Calculate the t-value and compare it with the critical t-value for a two-tailed test at the 0.10 level of significance (with 49 degrees of freedom, as the degrees of freedom is equal to the sample size minus 1). If the calculated t-value is greater than the critical t-value, we reject the null hypothesis. If it is less, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The critical t-value for a two-tailed test at the 0.10 level of significance with 49 degrees of freedom can be found in the t Distribution table.

ChatGPT To test whether there is evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8.17 ounces at a 0.01 level of significance, you can set up the null and alternative hypotheses as follows: Null Hypothesis (H0): The population mean amount of candies is equal to 8.17 ounces. H0: μ = 8.17 Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The population mean amount of candies is different from 8.17 ounces. H1: μ ≠ 8.17 To identify the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test at a 0.01 level of significance, you can use a t-distribution table or a calculator. Since the sample size is 50, you have 49 degrees of freedom (df = n - 1). Using a t-distribution table with 49 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.01 (two-tailed), you can find the critical values. Typically, for a two-tailed test at 0.01 significance level, the critical values are approximately ±2.6851 (rounded to four decimal places). So, the critical value(s) for this test are approximately ±2.6851. If the calculated t-statistic falls beyond these critical values in either the lower or upper tail, you would reject the null hypothesis.
