A consumer advocacy group claims that the mean amount of juice in a 16 ounce bottled drink is not 16 ounces, as stated by the bottler. Determine the conclusion of the hypothesis test assuming that the results of the sampling lead to rejection of the null hypothesis.
A. Conclusion: Support the claim that the mean is equal to 16 ounces.
B. Conclusion: Support the claim that the mean is greater than 16 ounces.
C. Conclusion: Support the claim that the mean is not equal to 16 ounces.
D. Conclusion: Support the claim that the mean is less than 16 ounces.
Help!!!
Ho: mean = 16 oz
Ha: mean ≠ 16 oz
H=16
H=15+1
The answer to this question depends on the alternative hypothesis for the hypothesis test. The alternative hypothesis states the claim being made by the consumer advocacy group. Without knowing the alternative hypothesis, it is not possible to determine the appropriate conclusion.
Could you please provide the alternative hypothesis?
To determine the conclusion of the hypothesis test, we need to first understand the setup of the test. In this case, the null hypothesis would be that the mean amount of juice in a 16 ounce bottled drink is equal to 16 ounces, as stated by the bottler. The alternative hypothesis would be that the mean amount of juice is not equal to 16 ounces, as claimed by the consumer advocacy group.
If the null hypothesis is rejected, it means that there is enough statistical evidence to support the alternative hypothesis.
Now, the question states that the results of the sampling lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. This means that there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean amount of juice is not equal to 16 ounces, as claimed by the bottler.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. Conclusion: Support the claim that the mean is not equal to 16 ounces.
