A manufacturer of sunflower oil uses machines to distribute liquid ingredients into bottles that move along a filling line. The machine that distributes is working properly when 8 ounces are distributed. Suppose that the average amount distributed in a particular sample of 35 bottles is 7.91 ounces. Assume that the variance of the process is known to be 0.03 ounces squared. Is there evidence that the machine should be stopped (when not 8 ounces are distributed), and production wait for repairs? The lost production from a shutdown is potentially so great that management feels that the level of confidence in the analysis should be 99%.

A light bulb manufacturer wants to compare the mean lifetimes of two of its light bulbs, model A and model B. Independent random samples of the two models were taken. Analysis of 13 bulbs of model A showed a mean lifetime of 1358 hours and a standard deviation of 105 hours. Analysis of 12 bulbs of model B showed a mean lifetime of 1357 hours and a standard deviation of 103 hours. Assume that the populations of lifetimes for each model are normally distributed and that the variances of these populations are equal. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference µ, –, between the mean lifetime lj of model A bulbs and the mean lifetime µ, of model B bulbs. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit:|| Upper limit:I
Mary Peterson is in charge of preparing blended flour for exotic bread making. The process is to take two different types of flour and mix them together in order to achieve high-quality breads. For one of the products, flour A and flour B are mixed together. The package of flour A comes from a packing process that has a population mean weight of 8 ounces with a population variance of 0.04. The package of flour B has a population mean weight of 8 ounces and a population variance of 0.06. The package weights have a correlation of 0.40. The A and B packages are mixed together to obtain a 16-ounce package of special exotic flour. Every 60 minutes a random sample of four packages of exotic flour is selected from the process, and the mean weight for the four packages is computed. Prepare a 99% acceptance interval for a quality-control chart for the sample means from the sample of four packages. Show all your work and explain your reasoning. Explain how this acceptance chart would be used to…
Many properties of the fabric used in different textiles, such as sheets and clothing, are influenced by whether the diameter of yarn used in the creation of the textile is consistent. Therefore, various methods can be used to measure the diameter of yarn at specified intervals, such as every 2mm, to determine the consistency of the diameter. These measurements are normally distributed. Suppose that one textile manufacturer will not use any yarn in which the variance of the diameters is greater than 0.0009mm. In order to ensure that the yarn is usable, the diameter of a length of yarn is measured at 100 random intervals. The variance of those measurements is found to be 0.001119mm. Does this evidence provide support that the batch of yarn is unusable by the manufacturer? Use a 0.025 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.
The Precision Machining Company makes hand-held tools on an assembly line that produces one product every minute. On one of the products, the critical quality dimension is the diameter (measured in thousandths of an inch) of a hole bored in one of the assemblies. Management wants to detect any shift in the process average diameter from 0.010 in. Management considers the variance in the process to be in control. Historically, the average range has been 0.002 in., regardless of the process average. Design an x-chart to control this process, with a center line at 0.010 in. and the control limits set at three sigmas from the center line. Management provided the results of 80 minutes of output from the production line, as shown in the table below. During these 80 minutes, the process average changed once. All measurements are in thousandths of an inch. Sample data for Precision Machining Company Diameter (thousandths of an inch) Minutes 1- 12 10 11 13 11 12 10 9. 8 11 12 13 - 24 10 11 12 11…

Snow avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common type of avalanche is called the slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia. Suppose slab avalanches studied in a region of Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. The ski patrol at Vail, Colorado, is studying slab avalanches in its region. A random sample of avalanches in spring gave the following thicknesses (in cm). 59 51 76 38 65 54 49 62 68 55 64 67 63 74 65 79 (i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s.
