A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 407 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is overfilling the bags. A 19 bag sample had a mean of 412 grams with a standard deviation of 15. Assume the population is normally distributed. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are overfilled? Step 2 of 6: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:Given:The hypothesized mean $(\mu) = 407$The sample mean $(\overline{x}) = 412$The sample standard deviation $(s) = 15$The sample size $(n) = 19$ The significance level $(\alpha) = 0.1$ Solution:The null and alternative hypothesis: $H_0: \mu = 407$$H_a: \mu > 407$…
