A production line operates with a mean filling weight of 16 ounces per container. Overfilling or underfilling presents a serious

problem and when detected requires the operator to shut down the production line to readjust the filling mechanism. From past data, a population standard deviation S=.8 ounces is assumed. A quality control in inspector selects a sample of 30 items every hour and at that time makes the decision of whether to shut down the line for readjustment. The level of significance is a = .05.- State the hypothesis test for this quality control application.- If a sample mean of xbar=16.32 ounces were found, what is the p-value ? What action would you recommend ?- If a sample mean of xbar=15.82 ounces were found, what is the p-value ? What action would you recommend ?- Use the critical value approach. What is the rejection rule for the preceding hypothesis testing procedure ? Repeat the last two parts : Do you reach the same conclusion ?

Answer:

Part1) z=\frac{16.32-16}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{30}}}=2.191    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.191)=0.0284

Readjustment is needed

Part 2)  z=\frac{15.82-16}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.232    

z=\frac{15.82-16}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.232    

p_v =2*P(Z

No readjustment is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Part 1    

\bar X=16.32 represent the sample mean    

\sigma=0.8 represent the population standard deviation    

n=30 sample size    

\mu_o =16 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to apply a two tailed test.    

What are H0 and Ha for this study?    

Null hypothesis:  \mu =16    

Alternative hypothesis :\mu \neq 16    

Compute the test statistic  

The statistic for this case is given by:    

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

z=\frac{16.32-16}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{30}}}=2.191    

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.191)=0.0284

Using the value of \alpha =0.05 we see that pv and we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Readjustment is needed

The rejection zone is given by:

(-\infty ;-1.96) , (1.96;\infty)    

Part 2

\bar X=15.82 represent the sample mean    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

z=\frac{15.82-16}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.232    

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(Z

Using the value of \alpha =0.05 we see that pv>\alpha and we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

No readjustment is needed

The rejection zone is given by:

(-\infty ;-1.96) , (1.96;\infty)  

What action would you recommend ?

Review the procedure.

Do you reach the same conclusion ?

No we got different conclusions

Mrs. Owens was making Thanksgiving dinner for 10
saul85 [17]

Well if she is making dinner for 10 people and each person want 2 pieces then you need to multiple 10 x 2 = 20. So she is going to need to make 20 pieces.

If each of her pumpkin pies only has 8 pieces then she is going to have to make 3 pies.

3 pies x 8 pieces = 24 pieces of pumpkin pie. So she has to make 3 pies because she needs 20 pieces since everyone wants 2.

In conclusion Mrs. Owens has to make 3 pies and she is going to have 4 pieces left over.

The hours of daylight, y, in Utica in days x from January 1, 2013 can be modeled by the equation y = 2.89sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.
Pie

Answer:

9.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.

Required

Hours of sunlight on Feb 21, 2013

First, calculate the number of days from Jan 1, 2013 to Feb 21, 2013

days = 52

So:

x = 52

So, we have:

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(0.0145*52-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(0.754-1.40) + 10.99.

y = 2.89\sin(-0.646) + 10.99.

y = 2.89*-0.6020 + 10.99.

y = -1.740 + 10.99.

y = 9.25

<em></em>y = 9.3<em> --- approximated</em>
