For example‚ we might need to decide whether the mean weight‚ μ‚ of all bags of pretzels packaged by a particular company differs from the advertised weight of 454 grams (g)‚ or we might want to determine whether the mean age‚ μ‚ of all cars in use has increased from the year 2000 mean of 9.0 years.
