The average weight of a package of rolled oats is
supposed to be at least 16 ounces. A sample of 18 packages shows a mean of
15.81 ounces with a standard deviation of .48 ounce.
(a)At the 5 percent level of significance, is the true
mean smaller than the specification? Clearly state your hypotheses and decision
rule.
  a.H0: μ ≥ 16. Reject H0 if tcalc >
-1.740
b.H1: μ < 16. Reject H1 if tcalc < -1.740
c.H0: μ ≥ 16.
Reject H0 if tcalc < -1.740
d.H1: μ < 16. Reject H1 if tcalc > -1.740  
(b)If α = .010, we would have
  a.failed to
reject the null hypothesis.
b.rejected the null hypothesis.  
(c)Use Excel to find the p-value. (Round your answer to 4
decimal places.)
