No written by hand solution The Coca-Cola Company reported that the mean per capita annual sales of its beverages in the United States were 459 eight-ounce servings (Coca-Cola Company website, February 25, 2017). Suppose you are curious whether the consumption of CocaCola beverages is higher in Atlanta, Georgia, the location of Coca-Cola’s corporate headquarters. A sample of 61 individuals from the Atlanta area showed a sample mean annual consumption of 479.5 eight-ounce servings with a standard deviation of s = 90 ounces. Using α = .01, does the sample support the conclusion that means annual consumption of Coca-Cola beverage products is higher in Atlanta?
