One Sample Z Test

A perfume company produces bottles that normally hold 150cc of perfume, with a standard deviation of 2cc. 100 bottles were randomly selected and their volumes measured, finding an average of 152cc. A z-test was conducted to determine if the true mean volume had increased, with the null hypothesis being that the mean was still 150cc. The z-score was calculated to be 10, which exceeds the critical value, so the null hypothesis was rejected, meaning the true mean volume had likely increased beyond 150cc at the 95% confidence level.

Volume Perfume bottle producing 150cc with sd of 2 cc, 100 bottles are ran

148 average volume was found to be 152cc. Has mean volume changed

156 Null Hypothesis: Mean = 150 cc
155 Alternate Hypothesis: Mean ≠ 150 cc
151 Calculated statistic: z (calc) = (152-150)/(2/sqrt(100)) = 10
154 For 95% confidence level two tail test
152 Z (critical) = -1.959964 and 1.959964
