Red Orchards sells apples. They claim that their apples are "the sweetest in the world" with a sugar content of 20% by mass. Granny Smith's Farmers Co'op believes the sugar content of the apples to be lower than 20%. Hence, they buy 30 apples from Red Orchards and test the sugar content with a machine. They find that the sample has a mean sugar content of 18% by mass and a standard deviation of 2% by mass. They then conduct a significance test with significance level 5%.
