This experiment aims to quantify the amount of ASA in an Original Full-Dose Bayer Aspirin tablet. The determined content will be compared to Bayer’s advertised amount of 325mg of active ingredient (ASA). These values will be analyzed using a one-sample t-test to determine the presence or absence of a statistically significant difference.

The null hypothesis states that there is no difference between the measured amount of ASA and the advertised amount. The test will include a 5% tolerance for uncertainty.

The alternative hypothesis states that a statistically significant difference will arise upon comparison of measured and advertised amounts.
