When operating normally, a manufacturing process produces tablets for which the mean weight of the active ingredient is 5 grams, and the standard deviation is 0.025 gram.
For a random sample of 12 tables the following weights of active ingredient (in grams) were found:
5.014.695.034.984.984.955.005.005.035.015.044.95
Without assuming that the population variance is known, test the null hypothesis that the population mean weight of active ingredient per tablet is 5 grams. Use a two-sided alternative and a 5% significance level. State any assumptions that you make.
