A production line operates with a mean filling weight of 16 ounces per container. Overfill- ing or underfilling presents a serious problem and when detected requires the operator to shut down the production line to readjust the filling mechanism. From past data, a population standard deviation o = .8 ounces is assumed. A quality control inspector selects a sample of 30 items every hour and at that time makes the decision of whether to shut down the line for readiustment. The level of significance is a 05.

Problem 1
A production line operates with a mean filling weight of 16 ounces per container. Overfill-
ing or underfilling presents a serious problem and when detected requires the operator to shut
down the production line to readjust the filling mechanism. From past data, a population
standard deviation o = .8 ounces is assumed. A quality control inspector selects a sample
of 30 items every hour and at that time makes the decision of whether to shut down the line
for readjustment. The level of significance is a = .05.
a. State the hypothesis test for this quality control application.
b. If a sample mean of ăš = 16.32 ounces were found, what is the p-value? What action
would you recommend?
If a sample mean of ī = 15.82 ounces were found, what is the p-value? What action
would you recommend?
Use the critical value approach. What is the rejection rule for the preceding hypothe-
sis testing procedure? Repeat parts (b) and (c). Do you reach the same conclusion?
c.
d.
