A brewery has a beer dispensing machine that dispenses beer into the company's 12 ounce bottles. The distribution for the amount of beer dispensed by the machine follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.17 ounce. The company can control the mean amount of beer dispensed by the machine. What value of the mean should the company use if it wants to guarantee that 98.5% of the bottles contain at least 12 ounces (the amount on the label)

The company should use a mean of 12.37 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The distribution for the amount of beer dispensed by the machine follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.17 ounce.

This means that $\sigma = 0.17$

The company can control the mean amount of beer dispensed by the machine. What value of the mean should the company use if it wants to guarantee that 98.5% of the bottles contain at least 12 ounces (the amount on the label)?

This is $\mu$ , considering that when X = 12 , Z has a p-value of 1 - 0.985 = 0.015 , so when X = 12, Z = -2.17 .

Then

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-2.17 = \frac{12 - \mu}{0.17}$

$12 - \mu = -2.17*0.17$

$\mu = 12 + 2.17*0.17$

$\mu = 12.37$

The company should use a mean of 12.37 ounces.

Answer from: Quest

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

$m=y/x=1/3$

the equation of the dashed line is

$y=(1/3)x$

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

$y> (1/3)x$

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

$m=(4-0)/(0-4)=-1$

the equation of the solid line is

$y=-x+4$

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

$y\leq-x+4$

step 3

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$

Answer from: Quest

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
