A large cookie company claims the average amount of sodium per cookie is 200 mg. You suspect that the sodium content is different than that, so you take a random sample of 36 cookies and research the nutritional content. You then conduct a hypothesis test that μ = 200 vs. the alternative that μ ≠ 200.

(a) The standardized test statistic for your sample is 2.7. The P-value would then be:

     A) 0.9965

     B) 0.4983

     C) 0.0070

     D) 0.0035

Selection:

(b) Which would be the correct decision for your hypothesis test?

     A) Reject H₀

     B) Do not reject H₀

Selection:

(c) A Type I Error in this situation would be:

     A) Concluding that μ ≠ 200 when in fact μ = 200 is true.

     B) Concluding that μ = 200 when in fact μ ≠ 200 is true.

     C) Concluding that μ = 200 when in fact μ = 200 is true.

     D) Concluding that μ ≠ 200 when in fact μ ≠ 200 is true.
