Complete Question

The weights of soy patties sold by a diner are normally distributed. A random sample of 15 patties yields a mean weight of 3.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. At the 0.05 level of significance,perform a hypothesis test to see if the true mean weight is  less than 4 ounce.

Yes the true mean weight is less than 4 ounce

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

     The random sample is n = 15

       The mean weight is \= x = 3.8\  ounce

        The standard deviation is  \sigma = 0.5 \ ounce

         The  level of significance is  \alpha  = 0.05

       

So

   The  null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu \ge 4

     The alternative hypothesis is H_a : \mu < 4

Generally the critical value which a bench mark to ascertain whether the null hypothesis is  true or false is mathematically represented as

            t_{0.05} = 1.79

This value is  obtained from  the critical value table

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

                Test \ Statistics (ST)  = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  }

           =>  ST = \frac{3.8 -4 }{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{20} } }

                ST = - 1.79

So since ST is less than t_{0.05}  then the null hypothesis would be rejected and the alternative hypothesis would be accepted so

  Thus the true mean weight is less than 4
