A candy company claims that their bags of jellybeans have a mean weight of 9.45 oz. 125 randomly chosen bags of jellybeans were sampled, and it was discovered that their mean weight was 9.68 oz, with a standard deviation of 1.23 oz. Test this hypothesis using a 99% confidence level.
A- Reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to oppose the company's claim.
B- Reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the company's claim.
C- Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to oppose the company's claim.
D- Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the company's claim.

Answer: C- Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to oppose the company's claim.

Note: I'm not sure this is correct o_O

I used a graphing calculator and calculated the t-interval of the jellybean sample using a 99% confidence level:

tInterval 9.68,1.23,125,0.99

It resulted in 9.68 ± 0.287805.

Therefore, we're 99% confident that the weight number of jellybeans would lie between 9.3922 oz and 9.9678 oz.

A weight of 9.45 oz lies within this range, therefore, it is possible that the candy company's claim is true.

D is the answer . There is evidence to show the company to oppose them
