Je berekening en interpretatie zijn volledig correct vanuit het standpunt van een eenzijdige test. Je zou je standpunt echter wel nog kunnen argumenteren. Een eenzijdige test is inderdaad goed als je ervan uit gaat dat de leverancier enkel economisch voordeel ondervindt door vlees te leveren met teveel vet.
We kunnen hier echter ook een 2 zijdige test hanteren. Hier gaan we ervan uit dat het vlees bij een teveel aan vet aan kwaliteit verliest en bij een tekort aan vet haar smaak verliest. Ook hier ligt de critical value perfect binnen de norm en is er geen reden om klacht in te dienen.

De conclusie is correct, maar normaal gezien gebruiken we hier een two-sided test gebruiken omdat het vetgehalte te hoog of te laag kan uitvallen. Wanneer we dit doen zien we dat de kritische waarde perfect binnen het confidence interval valt. We dienen dus geen klacht in, omdat de contractueel afgesproken waardes niet overschreden worden. De leverancier produceert naar alle waarschijnlijkheid aan een vetgehalte van 15%. De hogere sample mean waarde is te wijten aan het toeval.

Waarom een tweezijdig test gebruiken? De leverancier heeft er alleen voordeel bij door vlees te leveren van mindere kwaliteit (=met teveel vet).
