4. A yogurt cup is advertised as containing 6 oz of yogurt but the machine that fills the cups doesn't put exactly 6 oz of yogurt into each cup. The amount varies slightly. The amount of yogurt follows a normal distribution with a mean that can be set to any desired amount by adjusting the machine. The standard deviation of the amount of the yogurt is always 0.05 oz, regardless of the mean amount. If the company wants to be at 99% of cups contain at least 6 oz of yogurt, to what level should he set the mean?
5. Seventy percent of adults favor some kind of government control on the prices of medicines. Assume that this percentage is true for the current population of all adults. Let p-hat be the proportion of adults who favor this control in a random sample of 400 adults. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution and describe the shape of its sampling distribition.
6. The time that it takes students to get to a University from their home has a distribition that is skewed to the right with a mean of 30 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes.
a. Find the probability that the mean time it takes to get from home to a University for a random sample of 60 students is more than 35 minutes.
b. What is the shape of the sampling distribution if a random sample of a random sample of 15 students was selected instead of 60. Can you determine the mean and standard deviation of this new sampling distribition? If so, what are they? If not, why not?

    Question: An automatic coffee machine dispenses cups of coffee whose volume per cup varies normally and should have the mean μ = 10 oz if it is working correctly. A quality-control researcher randomly selects 8 cups of coffee from the machine and finds that in this sample the mean volume is 9.92 oz. and the standard deviation is 0.23 oz. In this problem, we have made slight changes to the "coffee machine" story above. In which of the options below...

    Problems 6 - 8: Suppose that the amount of coffee in each cup dispensed by a vending machine follows a normal distribution. A coffee vending machine is configured so that mean of all of the cups of coffee it dispenses is u = 12.0 ounces with a standard deviation o = 0.8 ounces. The mean of the distribution can be set by adjusting the filling machinery, while the standard deviation reflects the precision of the filling machinery. During a quality...

    Question 1 A study was conducted to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours. A similar study conducted a year earlier estimated that μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home,...
