Abstract
The following assignment will discuss the results of the study that was done to 30 bottles to figure out if what the customers are saying is true about the sodas that are being produced is less than what is advertised. Of the 30 bottles the mean, median, and standard deviation for the ounces in the bottles. A 95% confidence interval will be calculated as well. A hypothesis test will be done to verify if the claim is true and also a conclusion will be made.

To see if what the customers are saying is true about the ounces in the bottles are actually less than what is advertised the first thing that needs to be done is the calculations of the mean, median, and standard deviation for the ounces in the 30 bottles tested.

Total: 446.1/30=14.87
Mean: (Avg) 14.87
Median: (14.87+14.87)/2=14.8
Standard Deviation: 0.55033
Next thing that conducted as a test of the 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottle. With a mean score of 14.87, a standard deviation of 0.55033, and a desired confidence level of 95%, the confidence interval is + 0.25. There is a 95% certainty that the true population of the mean falls within the range of 14.66 to 15.16. For the hypothesis test the calculation has to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces that was advertised. The logic of this test is that there was a complaint that the bottle of the brand soda produced by the company contains less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces that is produced. Now order to verify this claim the employee will pull thirty (30) bottles off the

    In this bottle case study the null hypothesis is there are sixteen ounces in each bottle. The alternate hypothesis is there are not sixteen ounces in each bottle. In order to understand the outcome of the test of hypothesis we must analyze the data set and our projections in the previous to answer them. Analyzing the data from above, we have a mean of 15.2 and a standard deviation of 0.73. Adding one standard deviation to the mean, we still do not get to sixteen ounces, which compute to be 15.93 ounces. Clearly from the calculation that the null hypothesis is incorrect and has been disproven, meaning that the alternate hypothesis is in fact the correct…

    In the Hamilton Marketing Services case, we have a full-service pet-grooming company that has hired a company called Hamilton Marketing Services (a major marketing consulting firm that helps provide a wide range of marketing and advertising services) to help them with their pet-grooming business. The pet-grooming company called in with an idea to either offer a flat $40.00 per visit price or a $30.00 per visit price if the pet owner signs up for a series of four groomings. The pet-grooming company has hired Hamilton Marketing Service to see which pricing option would be better. The pet-grooming company suggested to send out a two sets of fliers: one with the $40.00 listing price to a sample of 80 customers and another set of fliers with the $30.00 price and requirement for signing up for four visits to a different sample of 80 customers. The pet-grooming company will track the responses, log the data, and the Hamilton Marketing Services will analyze which is a better pricing model.…

    In this section we have made attempts to find the descriptive statistics related to the number of candies or proportion of candies in the bag. The mean number of candies per bag is approximately equaled to 55. This means that we are expecting 55 candies with a standard deviation of 2.1 in each bag and out of these we also expecting that the proportion of different colors of candies should be equal for each bag. The sample proportion for blue candies is .1916, for orange candies is 0.18, for green candies is 0.1815, for yellow candies is 0.1663, for red candies is 0.136 and for brown candies is 0.1446. For this results we have sampled 36 bags which contains 1978 candies overall.…

    A company has approached Quality Associates, Inc. to verify that their sampling and statistical procedures are working efficiently. A sample of 800 units has been taken for observations for the study while operations were known to be operating at satisfactory levels. .21 has been set as the sample standard deviation and likewise so has the population standard deviation assumed to be .21 because there are a substantial amount of observations. Random samples of 30 will allow for swift action if said processes are not producing at efficient levels or drop below an average of 12 units, the null hypothesis, which has been set for this particular operation. Corrective action shall be taken anytime the experimental hypothesis tested does not equal 12.…
