A manufacturing company claims that its machines dispense, on average, 7 ounces per cup with a standard deviation of 0.15 ounces. A consumer is skeptical of this claim, believing that the mean amount dispensed is less than 7 ounces. A sample of size 100 is chosen, which yields the average amount per cup: 6.6 ounces, what conclusions can be drawn? State the null and alternative hypotheses, and compute the P–value to justify your answer.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here, we conduct Z-test for one population mean as :

Hence, there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean amount dispensed is less than 7 ounces as P-value = 0

A coffee machine is supposed to dispense 8 ounces (oz) of coffee into a paper cup....

A coffee machine is supposed to dispense 8 ounces (oz) of coffee into a paper cup. In reality, the amounts dispensed vary from cup to cup. However, if the machine is working properly, the standard deviation of the amounts dispensed should be less than 0.3/0.4/0.5 oz. To test this, a random sample of 10/15/20 cups was taken, and it give a standard deviation of 0.255 oz. a) At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude...

A vending machine dispenses coffee. The average cup of coffee is supposed to contain 7.0 ounces. Eight cups of coffee from this machine show the average content to be 7.3 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce. Using a 5% level of significance, test whether the machine has slipped out of adjustment and if the average amount of coffee per cup is different from 7 ounces. Determine the p-value and interpret the results
