Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original claim. A cereal company claims that the mean weight of the cereal in its packets is at least 14 oz. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the mean weight of cereal is atleast 14 oz

Explanation:

The hypothesis for the test above will be stated as follows :

The claim to be tested is the alternative hypothesis, which is the negation of the Null hypothesis

H0 : μ < 14

H1 : μ ≥ 14

If the Null is rejected, then it means that the company's claim that the mean weight of its cereal being atleast 14 is valid ;

Then it means there is significant evidence to support the stance that the mean weight of cereal in the company's packet is atleast 14 oz.
