The shopkeeper claims that the mass of the chocolate bars, \(X\) grams, is getting smaller on average. A random sample of 6 chocolate bars is taken and their masses in grams are measured. The results are $$\sum x = 246 \quad \text { and } \quad \sum x ^ { 2 } = 10198$$ Investigate the shopkeeper's claim using the \(5 \%\) level of significance.
