Problem 5

A company claims that the mean weight of its protein bars is 5050 grams. A quality control analyst samples 8 bars and obtains a sample mean of 51.251.2 grams. After simulating 20002000 randomizations under the null hypothesis, 120120 simulated means are at least as large as 51.251.2 grams. What is the correct interpretation of the pp-value and the decision at α=0.05\(\alpha\)=0.05?
