Suppose that a factory that produces shampoo has a machine that fills containers with c mL to 724 mL of shampoo.The machine is calibrated to fill bottles with at least the labeled amount (700 mL) 80% of the time. (a) Find the value of c. (b) The company that sells the product is worried that they are losing a significant profit by selling too many bottles that are filled too much (significantly overfilled). Suppose that the company begins to lose money for any bottle that has 712 mL or more. Find the probability that at least one fourth of a batch of 100 bottles is significantly overfilled. (c) What is the expected value of the number of overfilled bottles? (d) Do you think the company should be worried about their profit margins? Explain using previous answers or other probabilities.

Suppose a brewery has a filling machine that fills 12-ounce bottles of beer. It is known that the amount of beer poured by this filling machine follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.10 ounces and a standard deviation of .04 ounces. The company is interested in reducing the amount of extra beer that is poured into the 12 ounce bottles. The company is seeking to identify the highest 1.5% of the fill amounts poured by this machine. For...

6. Imagine that a soda bottling machine fills 550 ml bottles with a standard deviation of 7 ml. If we took 100 sample bottles, estimate how many bottles would meet the quality standard of selling bottles with at least 548ml 7. From the previous example, estimate the 70th decile of bottles and how many ml they would have of soda. That is, 70% of the bottles with more soda.

A paint manufacturer fills cans of paint using a machine that has been calibrated to fill the cans to contain an average of 1 gallon (128 ounces) each. To test whether their machine has come out of calibration, the manufacturer takes a random sample of 100 cans and finds that they average 128.2 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 4 ounces, and the volume of paint in the cans is normally distributed. Is this strong evidence that the can-...

A steel factory produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of these rods vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. According to design, the standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .05 inches. The quality control...

CASE STUDY CH.6 A spice manufacturer has a machine that fills bottles. The bottles are labeled 16 grams net weight so the company wants to have that much spice in each bottle. The company knows that just like any packaging process this packaging process is not perfect and that there will some variation in the amount filled. If the machine is set at exactly 16 grams and the normal distribution applies, then about half of the bottles will be underweight...
