Question 760346: Can some help me on this question of probability? Please show your work.
In inventing several complaints concerning the weight of the “NET WT. 12 OZ.” jar of a local brand of peanut butter, the Better Business Bureau selected a sample of 36 jars. The sample showed an average net weight of 11.92 ounces and a standard deviation of .3 ounce. Using a .01 level of significance, what would the Bureau conclude about the operation of the local firm?
Thanks a lot.

Ho: u = 12
Ha: u # 12
-------------------
z(11.92) = (11.92-12)/[0.3/sqrt(36)] = -1.6
-----
p-value = 2*P(z < -1.6) = 2*normalcdf(-100,-1.6) = 0.1096
----------
Since the p-value is greater than 1%, fail to reject Ho.
----------------------------
