Question
- Bottles of a soft drink are filled by machine and the net content of a bottle has a
normal distribution with mean µ liters and standard deviation σ = 0.07 liters. A random sample of 49 bottles and the sample average content is 2.02 liters. An analyst wishes to test H0 : µ = 2 against H1 : µ /= 2. I f α = 0.05, which of the following statements is correct?

- The nicotine content in cigarettes of a certain brand is normally distributed with mean (in milligrams) u and standard deviation o = 0.1. The brand advertises that the mean nicotine content of their cigarettes is 1.5 mg. Now, suppose a reporter wants to test whether the mean nicotine content is actually higher than advertised. He takes measurements from a SRS of 15 cigarettes of this brand. The sample yields an average of 1.6 mg of nicotine. Conduct a test using a significance level of a = 0.05. (a) The standardized test statistic (b) The critical value (endpoint of Rejection Region) is z* = (c) The final conclusion is OA. The nicotine content is probably higher than advertised. B.
