A consumer group claims that the average annual consumption of high fructose corn syrup by a person in the U.S. is 48.8 pounds. You believe it is higher. You take a simple random sample of 35 people in the U.S. and find an average of 53.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 4.4 pounds. Test at 1% significance. Round to the fourth

Answer:

[tex]6.7159[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\mu=48.8\\n=35\\\bar{x}=53.8\\\sigma=4.4\\\alpha=1\%=0.01[/tex]

Null and alternative hypothesis :

[tex]H_0:\mu=48.8\\H_a:\mu>48.8[/tex]

Test statistic,

[tex]t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{53.8-48.8}{\frac{4.4}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{5\times 5.91}{4.4}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=6.715[/tex]

Test statistic [tex]t=6.715[/tex]

[tex]P-[/tex]value [tex]=P(t>6.715)[/tex]

[tex]P-[/tex] value [tex]=0.0001[/tex]  by the p- table

Significance level [tex]0.01[/tex]

         [tex]p-[/tex]value [tex]<0.01[/tex]

  We reject [tex]H_0[/tex]
