Suppose you are curious whether the consumption of Coca-Cola beverages is higher in Atlanta, Georgia, the location of Coca-Cola’s corporate headquarters. A sample of 36 individuals from the Atlanta area showed a sample mean annual consumption of 460.4 eight ounce servings with a standard deviation of s = 101.9 ounces. Using &#945; = .05, do the sample results support the conclusion that mean annual consumption of Coca-Cola beverage products is higher in Atlanta?  </SPAN>\n" );
