The process that produces Sonora Bars is intended to produce bars with a mean weight of 56 gm. A random sample of 49 candy bars yields a mean weight of 55.82 gm and a standard deviation of 0.77 gm. Find the critical value for the 20% level of significance.
Select one:
a. 0.843
b. 1.299
c. -1.96
d. 1.174

The process that produces Sonora Bars (a type of candy) is intended to produce bars with a mean weight of 56 gm. The process standard deviation is known to be 0.77 gm. A random sample of 49 candy bars yields a mean weight of 55.82 gm. Find the p-value for a test to see whether the candy bars are smaller than they are supposed to be. Multiple Choice Between .05 and .10 Between .01 and .025 Between .025 and .05...
QUESTIONS 1. When operating usually, a manufacturing process produces tablets for which the mean weight of the active ingredient is 5 grams, and the standard deviation is 0.025 gram. For a random sample of 12 tablets the following weights of active ingredient (in grams) were found: 5.01 4.69 5.03 4.98 4.98 4.95 5.00 5.00 5.03 5.01 5.04 4.95 a.Without assuming that the population variance is known, test the null hypothesis that the population mean weight of active ingredient per tablet...
38- Problem The "fun size" of a Snickers bar is supposed to weigh 20 grams. Because the penalty for selling candy bars under their advertised weight is severe, the manufacturer calibrates the machine so the mean weight is 20.I grams. The quality-control engineer at M&M-Mars, the Snickers manufacturer, is concerned about the calibration. He obtainsa random sample of 11 candy bars, weighs them, and obtains the data bellow. Should the machine be shut down and calibrated? Because shutting down the...
A candy maker produces mints whose weight follows a normal
distribution with mean
21:37g and standard deviation 0:4g. Suppose 15 mints are selected
at random. Let Y be
the number of mints among them that weigh less than 20:857g. Then,
P(Y 2) = 0:816.
True False
A candy maker produces mints whose weight follows a normal distribution with mean 21.37g and standard deviation 0.4g. Suppose 15 mints are selected at random. Let Y be the number of mints among them...
A company claims that a new manufacturing process changes the mean amount of aluminum needed for cans and therefore changes the weight. Independent random samples of aluminum cans made by the old process and the new process are taken. The summary statistics are given below. Is there evidence at the 5% significance level (or 95% confidence level) to support the claim that the mean weight for all old cans is different than the mean weight for all new cans? Justify...
The mean weight of statistics books in the U.S. is 140 pounds with a standard deviation of 20 lbs. We sure pack a lot of stuff in these books!!! You select 400 books at random and measured their weight and found the mean for this sample was 137 lbs. Using a level of significance of 0.05, test the hypothesis that the true weight is 140 lb.
A business school placement director wants to estimate the mean annual salaries 5 years after students graduate. A random sample of such graduates found a sample mean of $427,400. A confidence interval for the population mean annual salaries 5 years after students graduate is then estimated to be from $419,020 to $435,780. If the placement director considers that this confidence interval is too wide and would like to have an interval of half width only, what should he do? Select...
The blue catfish is the largest species of North American catfish. According to american expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is 49 pounds. A random sample of 55 blue catfish has mean weight of 49 pounds. Use 1% significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of the fish is less than 49 pounds. (Standard Deviation is 5) A. Set the test B. Find the critical value C. Draw a normal curve to show the rejection...
The mean produce of rice of sample of 150 fields yields is 200 quintals with a standard deviation of 12 quintals. Another sample of 100 fields gives the mean at 200 quintals with a SD of 10 quintals. Assuming the standard deviation of the mean field at 11 quintals for the universe, test whether the results are consistent at 1% level of significance.
Chapter 7: Problem 16 Pr (1 point) The distribution of actual weights of 8-oz chocolate bars produced by a certain machine is normal with mean 7.8 ounces and standard deviation 0.15 ounces (a) What is the probability that the average weight of a bar in a Simple Random Sample (SRS) with 3 of these chocolate bars is between 7.66 and 7.91 ounces? ANSWER (b) For a SRS 013 of these chocolate bars, what is the level L such that there...
