Question 1086584: A company that makes cola drinks states that the mean weight of a 12 ounce is the same in both diet cola and regular cola. Five regular cans were sampled with a mean weight of 0.82 and a standard deviation of 0.04. Four cans of diet cola were sampled with a weight of 0.78 and a standard deviation of 0.01. Use 0.05 level of significance to test the claim

matrix%281%2C6%2C%22H0%3A%22%2Cmu%2C%22%22%5B1%5D%2C%22%22=%22%22%2Cmu%2C%22%22%5B2%5D%29


On your TI-83 or 84 graphing calculator,

1. Press STAT and move cursor to TESTS
2. Press 4 for 2-SampTTest. (T because sample sizes are small)
3. Move cursor to Stats if not highlighted and press ENTER
4. Type in the given values.
6. Highlight %22%22%3C%3Emu%5B2%5D
5. Highlight "No" for "pooled" 
6. Highlight Calculate
7. Press ENTER

read p = .088490361

Since the value of p is high (greater than the level of
significance, then we fail to reject H0.

Remember the poem:

If p is HIGH, H0 must FLY.  (We do not reject H0)
If p is LOW, H0 must GO.    (We reject H0)
