Exercise 33

Avg difficulty 3.0

Nutrition labels. The nutrition label on a bag of potato chips says that a one ounce (28 gram) serving of potato chips has 130 calories and contains ten grams of fat, with three grams of saturated fat. A random sample of 35 bags yielded a confidence interval for the number of calories per bag of 128.2 to 139.8 calories. Is there evidence that the nutrition label does not provide an accurate measure of calories in the bags of potato chips?
