soft drink filling machine, when in perfect adjustment, fills the bottles with 16 ounces of soft drink. A random sample of 60 bottles is selected, and the contents are measured. The sample yielded a mean content of 15.74 ounces with a standard deviation of 1.25 ounces. With a .05 level of significance, test to see if the machine is in perfect adjustment.

The distribution of heights in a population of women is approximately normal. Sixteen percent of the women have heights less than 62 inches. About 97.5% of the women have heights less than 71 inches. Use the empirical rule to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the heights in this population. Mean: K inches Standard Deviation: inches
A bottler of drinking water fills plastic bottles with a mean volume of 994 millimeters (mL) with a standard deviation of 5 mL. The fill volumes are normally distributed. What proportion of bottles have volumes less than 995 mL? Use Table A.2 (Normal Distribution Table) and keep four decimal places with your answer.
After the pandemic hit and people were forced to spend more time indoors, there have been a suspicion among health professionals. that people are eating more and thus gaining weight. In 2018, the average weight of 192 pounds, and health experts want to know if that average weight of the American male has gone up during this pandemic. d. A sample of 50 American males yeilded a sample average weight of 195 pounds and a sample standard deviation of 14.5 pounds. What is your conclusion at the 5% level of significance? (be sure to state your conclusion in the context of this problem) e. Would your conclusion change if the level of significance were changed to 1%? Briefly explain.
The average birth weight of elephants is 250 pounds. Assume that the distribution of birth weights is Normal with a standard deviation of 40 pounds. Find the birth weight of elephants at the 90th percentile.
Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 68 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 3 miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour. (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.) Approximately nothing% of vehicles travel between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.
The strength of the welds in a new manufacturing process is measured by the amount of weight needed to break the weld. The strength of the welds is normally distributed with mean 583 pounds. 30% of the welds had strength less than 500 pounds. What is the standard deviation of the strength of the welds?
The concentration of blood hemoglobin in middle-aged adult females is normally distributed with a mean of 13.5 g/dL and a standard deviation of 0.86 g/dL. Determine the hemoglobin levels corresponding to the: 90th percentile Middle 85% of middle-aged adult female hemoglobin levels
The serum cholesterol levels for men in one age group are normally distributed with a mean of 178.1 and a standard deviation 40.5. All units are in mg/10 mL. Find the 40th The annual precipitation for one city is normally distributed with a mean of 26.8 inches and a standard deviation of 3.2 inches. What precipitation amounts will contain 99.7% of the observations?
Because the mean is very sensitive to extreme values, it is not a resistant measure of center. By deleting some low values and high values, the trimmed mean is more resistant. To find the 10% trimmed mean for a data set, first arrange the data in order, then delete the bottom 10% of the values and delete the top 10% of the values, then calculate the mean of the remaining values. Use axial loads (pounds) of aluminum cans listed below for cans that are 0.0111 in. thick. Identify any outliers, then compare the median, mean, 10% trimmed mean, and 20% trimmed mean. 247 261 269 273 275 280 282 282 284 285 285 287 290 292 293 296 296 299 311 507 Identify any outliers. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. OA. The outlier(s) is/are pounds. (Type a whole number. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) C OB. There are no outliers.
