    A coffee vending machine is set to fill a cup with an average of 6.5 ounces of soft drink. The amount of fill varies. Sometimes the machine overfills the cup until it overflows and sometimes it fills it under the legal minimum. Suppose the amount of fill, X, follows the Normal distribution with an average of 6.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces. What is the probability that a 7-ounce cup overflows, that is, find P(X>7)? Given the...

    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...

    These are the answers. Can someone help in figuring out how to get them? 15. A coffee machine is adjusted to provide a population mean of 110 ml of coffee per cup and a standard deviation of 5 ml. The volume of coffee per cup is assumed to have a normal distribution. The machine is checked periodically by sampling 12 cups of coffee. If the mean volume, x, of those 12 cups in ml falls in the interval (1 10-2...

    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...

    A vending machine is designed to discharge at least 275mL of drink per cup on average. A number of customers complain that this is not the case and they are getting less than this amount. In response to the complaints, a random sample of 30 cups is taken in order to conduct an appropriate hypothesis test for the population mean, using a 5% level of significance. (Note: Assume that the population standard deviation is 14mL.) Calculate the probability of Type...
