  1. The “fun size” of a Snickers bar is supposed to weigh 20 grams. The manufacture calibrates the machine so that the mean is 20.1 grams. The quality-control engineer takes a random sample of 11 candy bars and finds the weights in grams are:
    19.68, 19.98, 20.55, 21.50, 20.66, 20.65, 20.36, 19.74, 19.56, 19.61, 21.02
    Suppose that the standard deviation of the weight of the candy was 0.75 grams before a machine recalibration. The engineer wants to know if the recalibration resulted in more consistent weights. Conduct the appropriate test at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance. To answer this, complete the following steps.
    (a) State the appropriate Null Hypothesis and Alternate Hypotheses
    (b) From the table of data, find the sample standard deviation.
    (c) Find the appropriate Test Statistic
    (d) Complete your analysis, finding and comparing any necessary values, and explain what your results determine about the hypothesis statements for this situation.

Tubs of Fun produces outdoor hot tubs. They currently manufacture the pumps for the tubs in house. They have discovered that 40% of the pumps fail within their 12 month warranty period, resulting in large warranty costs. Because of this they are looking at buying the pumps from a manufacturer that will also be responsible for any warranty costs on the pumps. Tubs of Fun's cost to manufacture is $80 per unit, including $18 of allocated fixed overhead (primarily depreciation...

To assess the accuracy of a laboratory scale, a standard weight known to weigh 10 grams is weighed repeatedly. The scale readings are normally distributed with unknown mean (this mean is 10 grams if the scale has no bias). The standard deviation of the scale readings is known to be 0.0006 gram. (a) The weight is measured five times. The mean result is 10.0023 grams. Give a 98% confidence interval for the mean of repeated measurements of the weight. (Round...

A worker is supposed to manually weigh and mix apples, oranges, pineapple, andkiwi in a 7:5:2:2 ratio by weight. A bag containing 80oz of these mixed fruits was found to have 39ozof apples, 26 oz of oranges, 12 oz of pineapple, and 3 oz of kiwi. At the 0.05 level of significance, testthe hypothesis that the worker is mixing the fruit in the 7:5:2:2 ratio.

Procedure: First, weigh out about 0.5 grams of magnesium metal, as shavings or ribbon. Always be sure to note the exact mass in your lab notebook, to as many decimal places as the balance displays. This will determine the number of significant figures in your calculations. The mass of the magnesium ribbon was 0.51 g. Next, obtain a crucible. Don’t wash the crucible in water; ceramic material acts like a sponge and will soak up lots of water, which will...
