Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because th

e filling machinery is not perfectly precise. The distribution of the contents is normal with standard deviation of 3 ml. A student who suspects that the bottler is under-filling measures the contents of six bottles. The results are: 299.4 297.7 301.0 298.9 300.2 297.0 Is this convincing evidence that the mean contents of cola bottles is less than the advertised 300 ml? Test at the 5% significance level.

Answer:

We conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. The distribution of the contents is normal with standard deviation of 3 ml.

A student who suspects that the bottler is under-filling measures the contents of six bottles. The results are: 299.4, 297.7, 301.0, 298.9, 300.2, 297.0

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean contents of cola bottles.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq  300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is less than the advertised 300 ml}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean contents of cola bottle = \frac{\sum X}{n} = 299.03 ml

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 3 ml

            n = sample of bottles = 6

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{299.03-300}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }     

                               =  -0.792

<em>Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as -0.792 > -1.6449, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.
