Value of the test statistic


Bags of certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have net weight of 14 oz. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag. Suppose net weights are Normally distributed. A representative of consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses H0: ? = 14, Ha: ? < 14. To do this, he chooses 16 bags of tortilla chips of this brand at random and estimates the net weight of each. He finds out a sample mean of 13.88 oz with standard deviation of s = 0.24 oz.
