Bottling cola A hattling compamy uses a fillimg maichine to fill plastic botles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300milliliters (ml) . In fact, the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with mean =298ml and standard deviation =3ml

(a) What is the probability that in individual bottle contains less than 295ml? Show you work.

(b) What is the probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295ml? Show your work.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The probability is 0.1587

(b) The probability is0.0071

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that,

population mean=298=298

Population standard deviation =3

we have to find that the probability that in individual bottle contains less than 295ml.

02

Part (a) Step-2 Explanation

The formula to compute the Z- score is:

z=x-

xis raw score

is population mean

sis population standard deviation

Consider, Xbe the random variable that shows the amount of cola in plastic bottles follows the normal distribution with mean =298mland standard deviation =3ml.

The probability that an individual bottle would contain less than295mlcola can be computed as:

P(X<295)=Px-<195-

=PZ<295-2983

=P(Z<-1)(Fromstandardnormaltable)

=0.1587

Thus, the required probability is 0.1587.

03

Part (b) Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that sample size(n)=6we have to find that the probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295ml.

04

Part (b) Step-2:  Explanation 

The probability that mean content in randomly chosen 6bottles is less than 295mlis calculated as follows:

P(X<295)=Px-n<295-n

=PZ<295-29836

P(Z<-2.45)(Fromstandardnormaltable)=P(Z<-2.45)(Fromstandardnormaltable)

=0.0071

Thus the require probability is0.0071

A 10-question multiple-choice exam offers 5choices for each question. Jason just guesses the answers, so he has a probability 1/5of getting any one answer correct. You want to perform a simulation to determine the number of correct answers that Jason gets. One correct way to use a table of random digits to do this is the following:

(a) One digit from the random digit table simulates one answer, with 5=right and all other digits =wrong. Ten digits from the table simulate 10answers. (b) One digit from the random digit table simulates one answer, with 0 or 1 =right and all other digits =wrong. Ten digits from the table simulate 10answers.

(c) One digit from the random digit table simulates one answer, with odd =right and even =wrong. Ten digits from the table simulate 10answers.

(d) Two digits from the random digit table simulate one answer, with 00to 20=right and 21to 99=wrong. Ten pairs of digits from the table simulate 10answers.

(e) Two digits from the random digit table simulate one answer, with 00to 05=right and 06to 99= wrong. Ten pairs of digits from the table simulate 10answers.

An agronomist wants to test three different types of fertilizer (A, B, and C) on the yield of a new variety of wheat. The yield will be measured in bushels per acre. Six one-acre plots of land were randomly assigned to each of the three fertilizers. The treatment, experimental unit, and
response variable are, respectively,
(a) a specific fertilizer, bushels per acre, a plot of land.
(b) a plot of land, bushels per acre, a specific fertilizer.
(c) random assignment, a plot of land, bushels per acre.
(d) a specific fertilizer, a plot of land, bushels per acre.
(e) a specific fertilizer, the agronomist, bushels per acre

In a certain large population of adults, the distribution of IQ scores is strongly left-skewed with a mean of 122and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose adults are randomly selected from this population for a market research study. The distribution of the sample mean of IQ scores is

(a) left-skewed with a mean of 122and a standard deviation of 0.35.

(b) exactly Normal with mean 122and standard deviation 5.

(c) exactly Normal with mean 122and standard deviation 0.35.

(d) approximately Normal with mean122and standard deviation 5.

(e) approximately Normal with a mean122and standard deviation0.35.

The student newspaper at a large university asks an SRS of 250undergraduates, 鈥淒o you favor eliminating the carnival from the term-end celebration?鈥 All in all, 150of the 250are in favor. Suppose that (unknown to you) 55%of all undergraduates favor eliminating the carnival. If you took a very large number of SRSs of size n=250from this population, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion Pwould be

(a) exactly Normal with mean 0.55and standard deviation of 0.03

(b) approximately Normal with mean 0.55and standard deviation 0.03.

(c) exactly Normal with mean 0.60and standard deviation 0.03.

(d) approximately Normal with mean 0.60and standard deviation 0.03.

(e) heavily skewed with mean 0.55and standard deviation 0.03.
