An Air Force base mess hall has received a shipment of 10,000-gallon size cans of cherries. The supplier claims that the average amount of liquid is 0.25-gallon size can. A government inspector took a random sample of 100 cans and found that the average liquid content to be 0.28 gallons per can with a standard deviation of 0.10. Does this indicate that the supplier’s claim is different from 0.25? (use a 5% significance level). Note: N > 30

Solutions

Expert Solution

We can use Excel function to find the p value as :

P-value = TDIST(T-statistic,n-1,2) = TDIST(3,100-1,2) = 0.0034

Hence, there is enough evidence to conclude that the average amount of liquid is different than 0.25 at 5% level of significance.

An electronics store has received a shipment of 30 table radios that have connections for an iPod or iPhone. Twelve of these have two slots (so they can accommodate both devices), and the other eighteen have a single slot. Suppose that eight of the 30 radios are randomly selected to be stored under a shelf where the radios are displayed, and the remaining ones are placed in a storeroom. Let X = the number among the radios stored under the...

A lumber company has just taken delivery on a shipment of 10,000 2 ✕ 4 boards. Suppose that 10% of these boards (1000) are actually too green to be used in first-quality construction. Two boards are selected at random, one after the other. Let A = {the first board is green} and B = {the second board is green}. (a) Compute P(A), P(B), and P(A ∩ B) (a tree diagram might help). (Round your answer for P(A ∩ B) to...

1. A salsa producer has just received a shipment of tomatoes from their main supplier. If the salsa company finds convincing evidence that more than 7% of the tomatoes are damaged and unusable for the salsa making process, the truck will have to be sent away and a new shipment will have to be sent out by the supplier. An inspection reveals that 49 tomatoes are unusable when the supervisor selects a random sample of 500 tomatoes from the truck....

A 1830-kg car experiences a combined force of air resistance and friction that has the same magnitude whether the car goes up or down a hill at 34.5 m/s. Going up a hill, the car's engine needs to produce 74.7 hp more power to sustain the constant velocity than it does going down the same hill. At what angle is the hill inclined above the horizontal?
