a.
To describe: A way to test the weights.
a.
Answer to Problem 17PPS
A weighing scale.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:Labeled weight of a bag is
A normal weighing scale would be enough to test the weights of the fertilizer bags. Bags can be one by one placed on the weighing scale and their respective weights should be noted down for record purposes.
b.
To find: The appropriate level of accuracy for their tests and then to justify the reasoning
b.
Answer to Problem 17PPS
Accuracy of at least
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:Labeled weight of a bag is
A weighing scale having an accuracy of at least
Thus, accuracy of at least
c.
To find: The way in which the results of the test can guide future production of fertilizer bags.
c.
Answer to Problem 17PPS
Test can guide future production of fertilizer bags in a positive way by rectifying errors, if found any.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:Labeled weight of a bag is
After the conduct of test, if everything is found correct and there is no difference in the labeled weight and actual weight then there will be no impact on the future production. But, if any kind of discrepancy is found and labeled weight doesn’t match the actual weight then specific measures will be taken to correct the errors and increase the accuracy levels of the weight of the bags.
Thus, test can guide future production of fertilizer bags in a positive way by rectifying errors, if found any.
