Question

The Department of Agriculture wants to determine whether the mean yield per acre for a particular variety of soybeans is different this year compared to the historical avg yield of 520 bushels per acre. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are 

Ho: mu = 520

Ha: mu is not = to 520

You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 36 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 573 and a std deviation of 24. 

What are the bounds of the acceptance region for this test?
