A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 407 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 20 bag sample had a mean of 397 grams with a standard deviation of 13. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Null hypothesis: μ = 407

Alternative hypothesis: μ < 407.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the machine is SUPPOSED to fill the bag so that the bag weighs 407 grams. So, the null hypothesis will be that the machine is doing what it is supposed to be doing. And so, μ = 407 grams would be the null.

The worker thinks the machine is filling the bags to LESS THAN what it is supposed to. So, the alternative hypothesis is that the machine is NOT doing what it is supposed to and μ < 407 grams.

Hope this helps!
