A researcher performs a hypothesis test to test the claim that for a particular manufacturer, the mean weight of cereal in its 18 ounce boxes is less than 18 ounces. He uses the following hypotheses: H 0: μ = 18 vs H A: μ < 18 and finds a P-value of 0.01. Draw a conclusion about the cereal box weight at a significance level of 0.05.

We conclude that the mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes is less than 18 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a researcher performs a hypothesis test to test the claim that for a particular manufacturer, the mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes is less than 18 ounces.

Let = mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes.

So, Null Hypothesis, : = 18       {mean that the mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes is equal to 18 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, : < 18      {mean that the mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes is less than 18 ounces}

Also, it is given that the P-value is 0.01 and the level of significance is 0.05.

The decision rule based on the P-value is given by;

Here, clearly our P-value is less than the level of significance as 0.01 < 0.05, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as our test statistics will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean weight of cereal in its 18-ounce boxes is less than 18 ounces.

the answer to this question is 3/19

step-by-step explanation:

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right
