A simple random sample of the weights of 19 green M&Ms has a mean of 0.8635 g

Question:

A simple random sample of the weights of 19 green M&Ms has a mean of 0.8635 g and a standard deviation of 0.0570 g (as in Data Set 20 in Appendix B). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of all green M&Ms is equal to 0.8535 g, which is the mean weight required so that M&Ms have the weight printed on the package label. Do green M&Ms appear to have weights consistent with the package label?
Use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
