A soup company claims that the average sodium content of their most popular soup is 500 mg per can. A nutritionist collects a sample of 36 cans with mean sodium content 507 mg. Assume a known pop. standard deviation of 15 mg & test the nutritionist’s suspicion that the mean sodium content is more than 500 mg using the critical value method with $\alpha =0.01$.

Mark ‘TRUE’ or ‘FALSE’ for each of the following.

$\left(A\right)$ The test statistic & the critical value are the same thing.

Mark ‘TRUE’ or ‘FALSE’ for each of the following.

$\left(B\right)$ The critical value is the boundary of the rejection region.

Mark ‘TRUE’ or ‘FALSE’ for each of the following.

$\left(C\right)$ You should always reject $H_0$ if the test statistic is greater than the critical value.
