A garden supplier claims that its new variety of giant tomato produces fruit with an mean weight of 46 ounces. A test is made of $H _ { 0 } : \mu = 46$ versus $H _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 46$. The null hypothesis is not rejected. State the appropriate conclusion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the null hypothesis $H_0 : \mu = 46$ is not rejected, it means there is insufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis $H_1 : \mu \neq 46$. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the mean weight differs from 46 ounces.
