Discuss the below:
Q: A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars completely. A sample of 8 jars has a mean of 15.6 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. Is there enough evidence to support the consumer's conjecture at a = 0.05?

(2) Secondly, calculate the critical value and d.f.
(3) Next, use the appropriate formula.
(4) Finally, decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis.
