Although the packages are labeled as 8 ounces, the company wants the packages to contain a mean of 8.17 ounces so that virtually none of the packages contain less than 8 ounces.

Is there evidence that the population mean amount is different from *.17 ounces? (Use a 0.05 level of significance.)b. Determine the p-value and interpret its meaning.
