1. A quality control specialist for Ozarka © would like to run a hypothesis test on the company’s 16.9 fl. oz. water bottles. If the water bottles contain less 16.9 fl. oz. as advertised, they will need to adjust their bottling process. A random sample of size 101 water bottles, had a sample standard deviation of 0.25 fl. oz. and a sample mean of 17.01 fl. oz. The quality control specialist fears a Type II error more than a Type I error and chooses his significance level accordingly. Is there evidence to conclude the amount of water in Ozarka © water bottles is less than 16.9 fl. oz.? The histogram of the data is pictured.
