To determine whether a bottling machine is working satisfactorily, a production line manager randomly samples ten 12-ounce
Question:
To determine whether a bottling machine is working satisfactorily, a production line manager randomly samples ten 12-ounce bottles every hour and measures the amount of beverage in each bottle. The mean x of the 10 fill measurements is used to decide whether to readjust the amount of beverage delivered per bottle by the filling machine.
If records show that the amount of fill per bottle is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of .2 ounce, and if the bottling machine is set to produce a mean fill per bottle of 12.1 ounces, what is the approximate probability that the sample mean x of the 10 test bottles is less than 12 ounces?
