Question

Suppose the coffee industry claimed that the average adult drinks 1.8 cups of coffee per day. To test this claim, a random sample of 40 adults was selected, and their average coffee consumption was found to be 1.85 cups per day. Assume the standard deviation of daily coffee consumption per day is 0.5 cups. Using ? = 0.05, complete parts a and b below. a. Is the coffee industry's claim supported by this sample? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? = 1.8 H1: ? ? 1.8

Step 1

Since we are testing the claim that the average adult drinks 1.8 cups of coffee per day, our null hypothesis will be that the population mean (µ) is equal to 1.8 cups. The alternative hypothesis will be that the population mean is not equal to 1.8 cups. Null Show more…
