Acompany claims that the mean weight per apple they ship is 120 grams with a standard deviation of 12 grams. data generated from a sample of 49 apples randomly selected from a shipment indicated a mean weight of 122.5 grams per apple. is there sufficient evidence to reject the company’s claim? (useα = 0.05)

There is no sufficient evidence to reject the company's claim at the significance level of 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the true mean weight per apple the company ship.  We want to test the next hypothesis

vs (two-tailed test).

Because we have a large sample of size n = 49 apples randomly selected from a shipment, the test statistic is given by

which is normally distributed. The observed value is  

. The rejection region for is given by RR = {z| z < -1.96 or z > 1.96} where the area below -1.96 and under the standard normal density is 0.025; and the area above 1.96 and under the standard normal density is 0.025 as well. Because the observed value 1.4583 does not fall inside the rejection region RR, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8
