Exercise 8.35 involved packages of ground beef in a small tray, intended to hold 1 pound of meat. A random sample of 35 packages in the small tray produced weight measurements with an average of 1.01 pounds and a standard deviation of .18 pound.
a. If you were the quality control manager and wanted to make sure that the average amount of ground beef was indeed 1 pound, what hypotheses would you test?
b. Find the p-value for the test and use it to perform the test in part a.
c. How would you, as the quality control manager, report the results of your study to a consumer interest group?
