A soft drink company has recently received customer complaints about its one-liter-sized soft drink products. Customers have been claiming that the one-liter-sized products contain less than one liter of soft drink. The company has decided to investigate the problem. According to the company records, when there is no malfunctioning in the beverage dispensing unit, the bottles contain 1.01 liters of beverage on average, with a standard deviation of 0.16 liters. A sample of 60 bottles has been taken to be measured from the beverage dispensing lot. The mean amount of beverage in these 60 bottles was 0.987 liters. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 0.987 liters or less in a sample of 60 bottles, if the beverage dispensing unit functions properly. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

In 2005, the federal aviation administration updtaed its passengers weight standards to an average of 190 pounds in the summer (195 in the winter). This includes clothing and carry- on baggage. The FAA, however did not specify a standard deviation. A reasonable standard deviation is 35 pounds. Weights are normally distributed especially when the population includes both men and women, but they are not very non- normal. A computer plane carries 25 passangers. What is the apporximate probability that, in the summer, the total weight of the passengers exceeds 5200 pounds?
A supplier is selling lumber to a building supply company. The building supply company requires that the overall length of a particular type of board measure between 95.9 and 96.1 inches. Before sending its next shipment, the supplier collects a large sample of boards and determines the mean length of the sample is 96.03 inches, with a standard deviation of 0.029 inches. What is the process capability index of the current process? Two decimal places.
Grear Tire Company has produced a new tire with an estimated mean lifetime mileage of 33,500 miles. Management also believes that the standard deviation is 3,500 miles and that tire mileage is normally distributed. To promote the new tire, Grear has offered to refund some money if the tire fails to reach 30,000 miles before the tire needs to be replaced. Specifically, for tires with a lifetime below 30,000 miles, Grear will refund a customer $1 per 100 miles short of 30,000. Construct a simulation model to answer the following questions. (a) For each tire sold, what is the average cost of the promotion (in $)? (Use at least 1,000 trials. Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ (b) What is the probability that Grear will refund more than $25 for a tire? (Use at least 1,000 trials. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
The masses of a rare breed of adult cats are normally distributed and have a mean mass of 4.2 kg with a standard deviation of 0.5 kg. An article in a pet magazine claims that 1 out of 40 such cats will have a mass of more than 5.2 kg. Is their claim reasonable? Explain/justify your answer.
XYZ, Inc. has been manufacturing small automobiles that have averaged 50 miles per gallon ofgasoline in highway driving. The company has developed a more efficient engine for its smallcars and now advertises that its new small cars average more than 50 miles per gallon in highwaydriving. An independent testing service road-tested 36 of the automobiles. The sample showed anaverage of 51.5 miles per gallon. The population standard deviation is 6 miles per gallon. A.

At EM Industries a certain machine fills 2-pound (32 ounces) boxes with cereal. The machine’s actual fill amount for the 2-pound box is found to have an average of 31.9 ounces and standard deviation of 0.40 ounces. If a box has at least 31.5 ounces of cereal, it considered “acceptable” by the government office of food product regulation. If a box has more than 32.5 ounces of cereal, it is considered “over-filled” by operations managers at EM Industries. a) What is the probability that a randomly filled box is “acceptable”? What is the probability that a randomly selected box is both, at the same time, “acceptable” and NOT “over-filled”? b) To monitor the current performance of the box filling process, Mo Nerdstat, quality control manager, decides to measure 20 boxes an hour and track this average performance measure over time. Develop 3-sigma limits for the current average process and draw the associated averages control chart.
An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.8 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 8.0 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 0.7. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places.
I wanted to do a market research study estimating the average hourly wage earned by childcare workers in the bay area. How large does my sample need to be in order to have a margin of error that is less than $0.50 with a 95% confidence in the result. Assume that the standard deviation of the wages is $2 per hour.
An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.2 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 160 engines and the mean pressure was 5.3 pounds/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.7. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.
An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 4.3 pounds/square inch.
