Study Notes
Cereal Box Weight Analysis
- A cereal manufacturer is concerned about the accuracy of cereal box filling weights.
- Each box should contain 13 ounces of cereal.
- A sample of 31 boxes was randomly selected.
- The average weight of the sample is 12.58 ounces.
- The standard deviation of the sample is 0.25 ounces.
- A confidence interval needs to be calculated to test if the mean weight differs significantly from 13 ounces, at a significance level of 0.10.
- Interpretation of the calculated confidence interval is required.
