Dit is de juiste berekening en je moet inderdaad geen klacht indienen. Het is ook correct dat je de p-waarde vergelijkt met de alpha-waarde en dat de p-waarde veel te hoog is. Dit betekent echter niet dat onze berekening niet op toeval berust. Om dat na te gaan heb je het betrouwbaarheidsinterval nodig. De p-waarde berekent de kans dat we ons vergissen in onze berekening. Daarom nemen we geen advocaat onder de arm, dit kost immers veel geld terwijl we niet zeker zijn of we wel gelijk hebben.

Deze vraagt werd volledig correct opgelost. De keuze voor de 1-sided werd echter niet beargumenteerd. Hier dient men voor een 1-sided test te kiezen omdat de leverancier enkel een financieel voordeel kan bekomen door teveel vet in zijn vlees te verwerken. Er wordt met de juiste p-waarde gewerkt, namelijk de one-tailed. Het klopt dat deze p-waarde duidelijk hoger ligt dan 0.05. Hier zou men nog moeten vermelden dat we deze alfa (type I error) zelf bepaald hebben op 0.05. Normaal gezien bepaald het management deze grens. Het klopt dus inderdaad dat we geen advocaat gaan betalen omdat de kans op vergissen te groot is, we kunnen dus concluderen dat het verschil niet significant is. De afwijking met de afgesproken norm (15%) is bijgevolg toevallig.
