Question

a data set includes weights (in grams) of 35 reeses peanut butter cup miniatures. the accompanying statdis display shows results from using all 35 weights to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a me to 8.953 g. test the given claim by using the display provided from statdisk. use a 0.05 significance level. click the icon to view the statdisk display. identify the null and alternative hypotheses. h₀: h₁: (type integers or decimals. do not round.)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the claim

The claim is about the population mean. In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis \(H_0\) is a statement of equality. The alternative hypothesis \(H_1\) is the statement we are trying to find evidence for.

Step2: Set up the hypotheses

Since the claim is that the sample is from a population with a mean equal to \(8.953\) g, the null hypothesis \(H_0:\mu = 8.953\). The alternative hypothesis for a two - tailed test (as no direction is specified in the problem statement other than “test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean equal to...”) is \(H_1:\mu
eq8.953\)

Answer:

\(H_0:\mu = 8.953\)
\(H_1:\mu
eq8.953\)
