The United States ranks ninth in the world for per capita chocolate consumption. Suppose you are curious whether chocolate consumption is higher in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the location of the Hershey Company's corporate headquarters. A sample of 39 individuals from the Hershey area showed a sample mean annual consumption of 10.05 pounds.
