Question

A machine fills cans with soft drinks so that their contents have a volume of 330ml. Over a period of time, it has been established that the volume of liquid in the cans follow a normal distribution with mean of 335 ml and standard deviation of 3 ml.

A setting on the machine is altered, following which the operator suspects that the mean volume of liquid discharged by the machine into the cans has decreased. He takes a random sample of 50 cans and finds that the mean volume of liquid in these cans is 334.6 ml. Does this confirm his suspicion? Test at the 5% level of significance.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
