A paint manufacturer uses a machine to fill gallon cans with paint (1 gal = 128 ounces). The manufacturer wants to estimate the mean volume of paint the machine is putting in the cans within 0.6 ounce. Assume the population of volumes is normally distributed. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.80 ounce. (b) The sample mean is 126.25 ounces. With a sample size of 7, a 90% level of confidence, and a population standard deviation of 0.80 ounce, does it seem possible that the population mean could be exactly 128 ounces? Explain.

A water hose manufacturer has developed a light-weight hose for home owners. Besides being constructed of a lightweight material. one of the characteristics of the hose is that it shrinks when it is not in use. When in use, the length of hose extends to its advertised length of 50 feet. Twenty hoses are tested to see if the hoses extend to the length of 50 feet. The sample mean of the length of the hoses is 49 1/2 feet with a s of 15 inches. Test the hypothesis at alpha = .01 that the hoses are not equal to 50 feet.
