Chapter 20 - Inference about a Population Mean - Chapter 20 Exercises - Page 481: 20.44a

Answer

$H_{o}: μ = 0$ $H_{a}: μ > 0$ Here we have n = 10, x̅ = 1.020, s = 1.196, df = 9 $s_{x̅} = \frac{1.196}{\sqrt 10} = 0.378$ $t = \frac{1.020 - 0}{0.378} = 2.698$ Using Table C of the book, we have: 0.02 < P < 0.04 Since P < 0.05, we will reject the Null Hypothesis. Hence we have sufficient evidence that the cola lost sweetness.
