SCMT 303 Practice Quiz

The document describes an experiment to test if a vending machine dispenses the designed amount of cola. A sample of 100 cups dispensed by the machine was measured, with a mean of 7.10 ounces. The 90% confidence interval for the true population mean amount dispensed is listed as 6.91 to 7.29 ounces. This matches option 2.

A vending machine was designed to dispense 7 ounces of INFO Cola into 8 ounce

cups. For the machine, the amount of cola dispensed X, has a normal distribution.
For these types of vending machines, the amount dispensed has an average variation
(standard deviation) of 0.75 ounce. In order to see if the machine is working as
designed, and to ensure consumer satisfaction, the mean amount of INFO Cola being
dispensed is to be estimated. The amounts of cola dispensed into 100 cups were
carefully measured and found to have a sample mean of 7.10 ounces.

The 90% confidence interval estimate for the true population mean amount of INFO
Cola dispensed is:

1.

(6.91, 7.29)

2.

(6.98, 7.22)

3.

(6.83, 7.38)

4.

(6.92, 7.28)

5.

(6.55, 7.65)

Which of the following is not true about the Students t distribution?


1 It has comparatively fatter tails than the standard normal distribution.
.

2 It is bell shaped and symmetrical.


.
3 As the sample size increases, the t distribution approaches the standard normal
. distribution.
4 All the choices are true statements
.

Your quality control department has just analyzed the contents of 20 randomly
selected barrels of Woodchuck brand cider, a product of Vermont. The analysis
resulted in an average of 41.93 gallons of drinkable cider per barrel and a standard
deviation of 0.1789 gallons. Historically, the amount of drinkable cider per barrel
follows a normal distribution.
