H0: 16

Ha: mu <=16

One tailed test.

sample size n = 50

Mean difference = -0.082

t statistic = -7.2005

Alpha = 0.01

df = 50-1=49

p value < .00001.

The result is significant at p < .01.

Since p < 0.01, reject null hypothesis.

the FDA has enough evidence to issue a small fine and a warning to recalibrate their packaging machinery
