5. An ice-cream shop claims that the mean weight of one scoop of ice-cream is 50 grams.  A sample of 100 scoops was found to have the mean of 48.2 grams.  A test was made of H0:μ=50,H1:μ<50 and the null hypothesis was NOT rejected.  In a letter to the shop owner you need to state your conclusion in "plain language".  You may use numbers in your statement, but you may not use technical jargon (e.g. null hypothesis).  Write your conclusion below.
