Question 1
The nutrition label on a bag of potato chips says that a 28 gram serving of potato chips has
187 calories and contains ten grams of fat, with three grams of saturated fat. A random
sample of 49 bags yielded a sample mean of 194 calories with a standard deviation of
14 calories. Is there evidence that the nutrition label underestimates the average number of
calories in the bags of potato chips? The conditions necessary for applying the normal
model have been checked and are satisfied.
