A machine puts liquid into bottles of perfume. The amount of liquid put into each bottle, Dml, follows a normal distribution with mean 25ml.

Given that 15% of bottles contain less than 24.63ml

a.) find, to 2 decimal places, the value of k such that P(24.63<D<k) = 0.45

A random sample of 200 bottles is taken.

b.) Using a normal approximation, find the probability that fewer than half of these bottles contain between 24.63ml and k ml

The machine is adjusted so that the standard deviation of the liquid put in the bottles is now 0.16ml

Following the adjustments, Hannah believes that the mean amount of liquid put in each bottle is less than 25 ml

She takes a random sample of 20 bottles and finds the mean amount of liquid to be 24.94ml

c.) Test Hannah's belief at the 5% level of significance. You should state your hypothesis clearly.

A drink bottler has several devices that pour a specific amount of liquid into each bottle. They test whether the temperature of the liquid has an impact on how much the devices pour. From a sample of the devices, each is tested twice: once with cold liquid, and once with warm. Is there evidence of a difference in the amounts poured at different temperatures? a) What kind of test is this? What are the hypotheses? c) What conditions must be...

The Goodsmell perfume company has a new line of perfume and is designing a new bottle for it. Because of the expense of the glass required to make the bottle, the surface area must be less than 150 cm2. The company also wants the bottle to contain at least 100mL of perfume. The design under consideration is in the shape of a cylinder. Determine the maximum volume possible for a cylindrical bottle that has a total surface area of less...

Southern Glass manufactures glass bottles for a variety of products, including perfume bottles and liquor bottles. The company has two profit centers: production and labeling. The production department melts the raw materials, adding metal oxides to produce different colors if desired. It then uses a continuous rolling process to shape the bottles. Production then transfers the bottles to the labeling department at an average cost of $15 ($12 variable; $3 fixed) per case. The labeling department then paints or attaches...

A machine that puts corn flakes into boxes is adjusted to put an average of 15.5 ounces into each box, with standard deviation of 0.24 ounce. If a random sample of 16 boxes gave a sample standard deviation of 0.35 ounce, do these data support the claim that the variance has increased and the machine needs to be brought back into adjustment?

An automatic filling machine is used to fill bottles with liquid detergent. A random sample of 20 bottles results in a sample variance of fill volume of s^2 = 0.0153 (fluid oz)^2 . Assume that the fill volume is approximately normal. Compute a 95% upper confidence bound for the population standard deviation. Provide practical interpretation of the result.
