A quality inspector investigates allegations against a bottling machine for underfilling which should average 33.4 ounces. He
took a sample of 80 bottles and found that the average content is 31.9 ounces of liquid and it is known that the bottling
machine should produce a fill with a standard deviation of 3.6 ounces. can the inspector conclude, at a 5% significance level,
that the bottles are filled below their content specification?

a.
Ho is rejected, i.e. the average content of the bottle is less than 33.4 ounces, Zc=-1.45

b.
Ho is not rejected, i.e. the average content of the bottle is less than 33.4 ounces, Zc=3.73

c.
Ho is rejected, i.e. the average content of the bottle is less than 33.4 ounces, Zc=-3.73

d.
Ho is rejected, i.e. the average content of the bottle is less than 33.4 ounces, Zc=2.73

The true average weight of a sack of flour should be 51kg. Twenty-five sacks were weighed, obtaining a mean of 50.4 kg with
a standard deviation of 1.4 kg. Perform a hypothesis test, with 95% confidence, to verify if the content of the sacks is different
from 51Kg.

a.
Ho is rejected, i.e. the average content of the bags is different from 51Kg, Tc=-2.14.

b.
Ho is not rejected, i.e. the average content of the bags is different from 51Kg, Tc=-2.87.

o c. U . . -I. ce . ew T A c
