A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 401401 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is overfilling the bags. A 4242 bag sample had a mean of 408408 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 2121. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.050.05 level that the bags are overfilled?
