Answer: there is no sufficient evidence

Step-by-step explanation: We need to perform an hypothesis test on the average gram setting on the machine before we can draw out a conclusion.

We need the sample mean, either of population or sample standard deviation and sample size to perform the test.

None of these parameters was given to us, hence we don't have enough sufficient evidence to prove the statement.
