Q1) At Ajax Spring Water, a half litre bottle of soft drink is assumed to contain a mean of 520 ml. Filling process permits normal distribution with known process standard deviation of 4 ml.

 

Requirement1:

 

Normal distribution must be used for sample mean because:

 

a) Population distribution is known to be normal

 

b) Standard deviation is very small.

 

c) Population standard deviation is known

 

d) Sample population has large mean

 

 Requirement 2:

 

Set up hypothesis and two-tailed decision rule for right mean using 5% level of significance. Hypothesis for a two-tailed decision is:

 

a) H0: μ ≠520, H1: μ = 520, reject if -1.96<. z <1.96

 

b) H0: μ = 520, H1: μ ≠ 520, reject if z > 1.96 or z < -1.96.

 

c) H0: μ =520, H1: μ ≠ 520, reject if -1.96<. z <1.96

 

d) H0: μ ≠520, H1: μ = 520, reject if z > 1.96 or z < -1.96

 

If sample of 16 bottles illustrates a mean fill of 515 ml, does this contradict hypothesis that true mean is 520 ml?

 

i) Yes

 

ii) No
