The manufacturer of a candy bar advertises the population mean net weight of each bar as 2.5 oz. Grayson, a student<br>majoring in statistics, believes that the population mean weight is not 2.5 oz. He tests the manufacturer's claim by recording<br>the weight of 45 candy bars that he randomly selected and purchased over the course of several months. The sample mean<br>weight of the 45 candy bars is 2.496 oz with a sample standard deviation of 0.012 oz. The test statistic t for a hypothesis<br>test of Ho : μ-2.5 versus Ha : μ 2.5 is computed as 18-224, which has 44 degrees of freedom. If O.02 <p-value<br>0.05 and α = 0.05, which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test to evaluate the claim that the<br>true<br>n mean weight of the candy bars is significantly not equal to 2.5 oz? Select all that apply.<br>Select all that apply:<br>Reject the null hypothesis that the true population mean weight of the candy bars is equal to 2.5 oz<br>Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true population mean weight of the candy bars is equal to 2.5 oz.<br>There is enough evidence at the α-0.05 level of significance to support the claim that the true population mean<br>weight of the candy bars is not equal to 2.5 oz<br>There is not enough evidence at the a 0.05 level of significance to suggest that the true population mean<br>weight of the candy bars is not equal to 2.5 oz<br>
