Based on a 24 bag sample where the mean is 424 grams and the standard deviation is 14, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the bags are overfilled? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2 of 5: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Step 4 of 5: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 5 of 5: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardAn engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine.

The audit team is performing a sampling application to evaluate the operating effectiveness of an entity’s internal controls. The application used could provide a more efficient method of examination, but it is important that the audit team evaluate the sample in the order they were selected. The audit team established the risk of overreliance to be 5%, the tolerable rate of deviation to be 4%, and the expected population deviation rate to be 3%.
