40. A drink vending machine is adjusted so that, on average, it dispenses 200mL of

fruit juice with a standard deviation of 13ml into a plastic cup. However, the
machine tends to go out of adjustment and periodic checks are made to
determine the average amount of fruit juice being dispensed. The operator
thinks that the amount dispensed is less than 200 ml. So, to verify, a sample of
25 drinks was taken to test the adjustment of the machine and a mean of 195
is obtained. For α = 5%, an appropriate decision rule would be
