A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 12.5, HA: μ < 12.5. To do this, he selects 24 bags of tortilla chips of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. Data reveals a bell-shaped histogram, a sample mean of 12.31 ounces, and a standard deviation of 0.48 ounces.(a) What type of test is this? Two-sided, one-sample test Two-sided, two-sample test One-sided, two-sample test One-sided, one-sample test (b) Given the test statistic = -1.94 and α = 0.05, which of the following statements is the decision? Reject H0; conclude the bags are underweight. Fail to reject H0; do not conclude the bags are underweight. Fail to reject H0; conclude the the bags are underweight.

This exercise asks you to conduct a hypothesis test using additional data. In this case, we are testing where p, and p, represent the proportion of fruit flies alive at the end of the given time frame of those eating organic food and those eating conventional food, respectively. Use a 5 % significance level. Effect of Organic Bananas After 25 Days After 25 days, the proportion of fruit flies eating organic bananas still alive is 0.45, while the proportion still alive eating conventional bananas is 0.43.
