Bottles of a popular cola are supposed to contain 300milliliters (ml) of cola. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because the filling machinery is not perfectly precise. From experience, the distribution of the contents is approximately Normal. An inspector measures the contents of six randomly selected bottles from a single day’s production. The results are 299.4297.7301.0298.9300.2297.0Do these data provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of cola in all the bottles filled that day differs from the target value of 300ml? Carry out an appropriate test to support your answer

Short Answer

Expert verified

Subsequently, at 5% significance level there is insufficient evidence to conclude that average amount of cola that is filled in bottle is different from 300ml.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, Bottles of a popular cola are supposed to contain 300milliliters (ml) of cola. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because the filling machinery is not perfectly precise. From experience, the distribution of the contents is approximately Normal. An inspector measures the contents of six randomly selected bottles from a single day’s production. The results are localid="1650344912723" 299.4297.7301.0298.9300.2297.0

We need to find that the mean amount of cola in all the bottles filled that day differs from the target value of 300mllocalid="1650344915747" 300ml.

02

Explanation

The dataset is

299.4

297.7
301
298.9
300.2
297

The test statistic is computed as:

t=x¯-μxn

Here,

x¯=Sample mean

μ=Population mean

n=Sample size

s=Sample standard deviation

03

Null and alternative hypotheses 

Here,

μ- Be the average amount of cola that is filled in bottle.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0:μ=300

Ha:μ≠300

The obtained excel output is:

Assume level of significance to be 0.05.

Here,

p-value is0.1760.

Here, p-value > level of significance. Thus, the decision is not to reject the null hypothesis.

Subsequently, at 5%significance level there is insufficient evidence to conclude that average amount of cola that is filled in bottle is different from 300ml.

Most popular questions from this chapter

We want to be rich In a recent year, 73 % of first-year college students responding to a national survey identified "being very well-off financially" as an important personal goal. A state university finds that 132 of an SRS of 200 of its first-year students say that this goal is important. Is there good evidence that the proportion of all first-year students at this university who think being very well-off is important differs from the national value, 73 %? Carry out a test at the α=0.05 significance level to help answer this question.

The French naturalist Count Buffon (1707-1788) tossed a coin 4040 times. He got 2048 heads. That's a bit more than one-half. Is this evidence that Count Buffon's coin was not balanced? To find out, Luisa decides to perform a significance test. Unfortunately, she made a few errors along the way. Your job is to spot the mistakes and correct them.

H0:μ>0.5Ha:x¯=0.5

- Independent 4040(0.5)=2020 and 4040(1-0.5)=2020 are both at least 10 .

- Normal There are at least 40,400 coins in the world.

t=0.5−0.5070.5(0.5)4040=−0.89;P-value=1−0.1867=0.8133

Reject H0because the P-value is so large and conclude that the coin is fair.

Explain why we aren't safe carrying out a one-sample z test for the population proportion p.

You toss a coin 10 times to test the hypothesis H0:p=0.5 that the coin is balanced.

Refer to Exercise 2. For Yvonne's survey, 96 students in the sample said they rarely or never argue with friends. A significance test yields a P-value of 0.0291.

(a) Interpret this result in context.

(b) Do the data provide convincing evidence against the null hypothesis? Explain.

Refer to Exercise 1. In Simon’s SRS, 16 of the students were left-handed. A significance test yields a P-value of 0.2184.

(a) Interpret this result in context.

(b) Do the data provide convincing evidence against the null hypothesis? Explain.
