Bonnie and Kate buy some better burner brand microwave popcorn in the 25 bag extra value pack. this brand claims perfect popcorn with mean Poppin time of 4 minutes and cites studies which show that all brands of microwave popcorn have normally distributed popping times with standard deviation 0 =0.7 minutes. Before sampling the 25 bag of popcorn themselves, they pop all 25 bags in there sample and compute a mean popping time x=3.7 minutes.
Is the significant evidence that the true mean popping time really is different from (not equal to) 4 minutes? Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the p-value, and state your conclusion. Use x= .05
