Suppose that the mean amount dispensed in a particular sample of 50 bottles is 7.983 ounces.

a. Is there evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8 ounces? (Use a 0.05 level of significance.)

c. What is your answer in (A) if the standard deviation is 0.05 ounce?

d. What is your answer in (a) if the sample mean is 7.952 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.15 ounce?
