manufacturer adevertises that their bottles contain, on the average, 10 ounces of drink with standard deviation of 0.6 ounce. Inspection team chooses a random sample of 100 bottles off their production line. Compute the probability of observing a sample mean fill of 9.8 ounces or less, assuming the manufacturer’s claim is valid.

Statewide, the population as a whole watches 6.2 hours of TV per day. A random sample of 1017 senior citizens in the state reports watching an average of 5.9 hours per day, with a standard deviation of 0.7. is the difference significant
An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 36.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 140 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.0. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.4. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic. Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window) Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts Tables
In the United States, egg sizes are set by the Department of Agriculture. A "large" egg, for example, weighs between 57 and 64grams. Suppose the weights of eggs produced by hens owned by a particular farmer are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55.8 grams and a standard deviation of 7.5 grams. What proportion of these eggs weigh less than 50grams? What percent of these eggs would be classified as large?
Systolic blood pressure levels above 120 mm Hg are considered to be high. For the 100 systolic blood pressure levels listed in the accompanying data set, the mean is 125.70000 mm Hg and the standard deviation is 15.86146 mm Hg. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean greater than 120 mm Hg. Click the icon to view the data set of systolic blood pressure levels.
Many cheeses are produced in the shape of a wheel. Because of the differences in consistency between these different types of cheese, the amount of cheese, measured by weight, varies from wheel to wheel. Heidi Cembert wishes to determine whether there is a significant difference, at the 10% level, between the weight per wheel of Gouda and Brie cheese. She randomly samples 18 wheels of Gouda and finds the mean is 1.3 lb with a standard deviation of 0.3 lb; she then randomly samples 10 wheels of Brie and finds a mean of 0.95 lb and a standard deviation of 0.21 lb. What is the df and p-value for Heidi's hypothesis of equality? Assume normality. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
A consumer advocacy group tested the ”on-air” lifetimes of a random sample of 200 cell phone batteries. The mean lifetime was 2.7 hours with a standard deviation of 0.3 hours. The lifetimes are approximately bell-shaped. estimate the number of batteries with lifetimes between 2.4hours and 3 hours.
Assume the average amount of caffeine consumed daily by adults is normally distributed with a mean of 260 mg and a standard deviation of 48 mg. In a random sample of 600 adults, how many consume at least 320 mg of caffeine daily?
It is known that the amount of beer poured by a machine at a brewery has follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.29 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.04 ounce. Find the probability that the bottle contains between 12.19 and 12.25 ounces.
A random sample of 50 gas stations in Cook County, Illinois, resulted in a mean price per gallon of $2.60 and a standard deviation of $0.07. State the Empirical Rule. A histogram of the data indicates that the data follow a bell-shaped distribution. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices within three standard deviations of the mean. Determine the percentage of gas stations that have prices between $2.46 and $2.74, according to the Empirical Rule. Explain your calculations. Would a gas price of $2.99 be considered unusual in the statistical sense? Why or why not?
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 140lb and 181lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 150 lb and a standard deviation of 34.8 lb.
A bottled water distributor wants to determine whether the mean amount of water contained in 1-gallon bottles purchased from a nationally known water bottling company is actually 1 gallon. You know from the water bottling company specifications that the standard deviation of the amount of water is 0.02 gallon. You select a random sample of 50 bottles, and the mean amount of water per 1-gallon bottle is 0.992 gallon. What is the test statistic?
