Exercise 53 of Chapter 15 asked for a Student’s t-based test of the hypothesis that every bag of Chips Ahoy! cookies had at least 1000 chips. Here is a histogram of 10,000 bootstrapped means based on the sample of packages in the data file.

What P-value would you assign to the hypothesis test?

Data From Chapter 15 Exercise 53

As we learned in Chapter 14, Exercise 59, in 1998, as an advertising campaign, the Nabisco Company announced a “1000 Chips Challenge,” claiming that every
18-ounce bag of their Chips Ahoy! cookies contained at least 1000 chocolate chips. Dedicated statistics students at the Air Force Academy purchased some randomly selected bags of cookies and counted the chocolate chips. Some of their data are given below.

# of Bootstrapped Means 1500 1000 500 1000 1050 Bootstrapped Means - (sample mean -1000) 950
