As Null hypothesis is not satisfied so there is no evident that nutrition label doesn't provide accurate measure of calories.

Casey Rivers · Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question is:

The nutrition label on a bag of potato chips says that a one ounce (28g) serving of potato chips has 130 calories and contains 10 grams of fats with 3 grams of saturated fats. A random sample of 35 bags yielded a confidence interval for the number of calories per bag of 128.2 to 139.8 calories. Is there evidence that the nutrition label does not provide an accurate measure of calories in the bags of potato chips?

The calories stated in nutriton label (130) is close to the lower bound of confidence interval range which is 128.2. So this can be an evidence that nutrition lable may not provide an accurate measure of calories in bags.
