A garden supplier claims that its new variety of giant tomato produces fruit with a mean weight of 42 ounces. A test is made of $H _ { 0 } : \mu = 42 \text { versus } H _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 42$ . The null hypothesis is not rejected. State

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis is not rejected, which means we do not have enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the mean weight is different from 42 ounces. Choice A and C are incorrect because the test did not provide enough evidence to make those conclusions. Choice B is incorrect because it directly contradicts the null hypothesis without any evidence to support it.
