You work for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You have gotten word that a drug manufacturing is not accurately reporting the contents of their liquid cold medication. Under Federal Regulations, "Variations from stated quantity of contents shall not be unreasonably large" (see section q of the regulation by clicking here). The company that produces the cold medication is claiming that each bottle contains 355 milliliters of cold medication, which is about 12 fluid ounces. In order to determine if they are accurate in their reporting, you decide to randomly select 20 different bottles of cold medication and measure the amount of cold medication in each bottle (in milliliters). The results of each sample are shown below. Bottle Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Milliliters 352 345 343 350 340 351 347 354 351 348 Bottle Number 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Milliliters 359 347 352 347 356 355 356 342 355 344 a) Use the data shown above to construct a 96% confidence interval estimate for the mean amount of cold medication the company is putting in their bottles. Record the result below in the form of (#,#)(#,#). Round your final answer to 3 decimal places. b) Is the company putting the claimed 355 milliliters of cold medication in their bottles? Explain. Yes, because 355 is inside of the confidence interval. Yes, because 355 is not inside the confidence interval. No, because 355 is inside the confidence interval. No, because 355 is not inside the confidence interval.

You work for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You have gotten word that a drug manufacturing is not accurately reporting the contents of their liquid cold medication. Under Federal Regulations, "Variations from stated quantity of contents shall not be unreasonably large" (see section q of the regulation by clicking here).

The company that produces the cold medication is claiming that each bottle contains 355 milliliters of cold medication, which is about 12 fluid ounces. In order to determine if they are accurate in their reporting, you decide to randomly select 20 different bottles of cold medication and measure the amount of cold medication in each bottle (in milliliters). The results of each sample are shown below.

Bottle Number	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Milliliters	352	345	343	350	340	351	347	354	351	348

Bottle Number	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
Milliliters	359	347	352	347	356	355	356	342	355	344

a) Use the data shown above to construct a 96% confidence interval estimate for the mean amount of cold medication the company is putting in their bottles. Record the result below in the form of (#,#)(#,#). Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.

b) Is the company putting the claimed 355 milliliters of cold medication in their bottles? Explain.

Yes, because 355 is inside of the confidence interval.
Yes, because 355 is not inside the confidence interval.
No, because 355 is inside the confidence interval.
No, because 355 is not inside the confidence interval.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
