Question:

A company's mixed nuts are sold in cans and the label says that 25% of the contents is cashews. Suspecting that this might be an overstatement, an inspector takes a random sample of 35 cans and measures the percent weight of cashews [i.e., 100 (weight of cashews/weight of all nuts)] in each can. The mean and standard deviation of these measurements are found to be 23.5 and 3.1, respectively. Do these results constitute strong evidence in support of the inspector's belief? (Answer by calculating and interpreting the P-value.)
