Cereal companies often advertise with statements like "collect all 8 dinosaurs" or "one in each specially marked box." Assume th

at the company sells an equal number of boxes with each type of dinosaur. If you wanted to collect all eight dinosaurs, does this mean that you will only have to purchase eight boxes of cereal? This investigation will help you better understand how theoretical probability compares to experimental probability.
Here are your goals: Use a simulation to determine the experimental probability of a problem. Compare and contrast the theoretical probability with the experimental probability.

It is possible to get all 8 in one go. However, it is very unlikely because...

You have a 1/8 chance of getting the dinosaur you want from a box. That means obviously you are significantly more likely to get another less dinosaur. Which it likely won't have lasers and stuff. Which is always sad.

The theoretical probability is far less likely to actually happen than the experimental probability.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

We conclude that the average calorie content of a 12-ounce can is greater than 120 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quality-control manager for a company that produces a certain soft drink wants to determine if a 12-ounce can of a certain brand of soft drink contains 120 calories as the labeling indicates.

Using a random sample of 10 cans, the manager determined that the average calories per can is 124 with a standard deviation of 6 calories.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average calorie content of a 12-ounce can.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 120 calories     {means that the average calorie content of a 12-ounce can is less than or equal to 120 calories}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 120 calories     {means that the average calorie content of a 12-ounce can is greater than 120 calories}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                         T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average calories per can = 124 calories

             s = sample standard deviation = 6 calories

            n = sample of cans = 10

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{124-120}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{10} } }  ~ t_9

                               =  2.108

The value of t test statistics is 2.108.

<em>Now, at 0.05 significance level </em><em>the t table gives critical value of 1.833 at 9 degree of freedom for right-tailed test</em><em>. Since our test statistics is more than the critical values of t as 2.108 > 1.833, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the average calorie content of a 12-ounce can is greater than 120 calories.
