A random sample of 36 cups of soda dispensed from the old soda machine in the lobby had a mean amount of soda od 7 ounces. Assume that the population standard deviation is 1 ounce. a. Find the best point estimate of the amount of soda dispensed. b. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean amount of soda dispensed from the old soda machine in the lobby.

Solutions

Expert Solution

We are 95% confident that the true population mean amount of soda dispensed from the old soda machine in the lobby is from 6.67 ounces to 7.33 ounces.

Write a program that determines the change to be dispensed from a vending machine. An item in the machine can cost between 25 cents and 1 dollar, in 5-cents increments (25, 30, 35, . . . 90, 95, or 100), and the machine accepts only a single dollar bill to pay for the item.

In a random sample of 43 teenage males it was found that the amount of soda they consumed daily had a mean of 33.42 ounces with a standard deviation of 9.98 ounces. At the 1% level of significance can it be shown that teenage males consume a mean of less than 36 ounces of soda per day? (a) State and test appropriate hypotheses. State conclusions. (b) Find the p-value of the test in (a).

The old machine filled 12 soda cans with an average of 11.9 oz of soda with a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces. The new machine still fills them (11 cans) with an average of 12.1 ounces, with a standard deviation of 0.3 oz. Is the new machine filling with significantly more than the old machine? (α=.05)
