Question
The amount of water dispensed by a water dispenser is normally distributed, with a mean of 12.10 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces. In which range will the amount of water dispensed be found 68% of the time?A.11.60 ounces to 12.60 ouncesB.11.85 ounces to 12.35 ouncesC.11.10 ounces to 13.10 ouncesD.11.35 ounces to 12.85 ouncesSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The 68% of the time range for a normally distributed set of data is defined by the mean plus or minus one standard deviation. In this case, the mean is 12.10 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.25 ounces.
To find the range, you subtract and add the standard deviation from the mean:
12.10 - 0.25 = 11.85 ounces 12.10 + 0.25 = 12.35 ounces
So, 68% of the time, the amount of water dispensed will be between 11.85 ounces and 12.35 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 11.85 ounces to 12.35 ounces.

The critical value(s)is(are) (Round to four decimal places as needed.Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) ChatGPT To test whether there is evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8.17 ounces at a 0.01 level of significance, you can set up the null and alternative hypotheses as follows: Null Hypothesis (H0): The population mean amount of candies is equal to 8.17 ounces. H0: μ = 8.17 Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The population mean amount of candies is different from 8.17 ounces. H1: μ ≠ 8.17 To identify the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test at a 0.01 level of significance, you can use a t-distribution table or a calculator. Since the sample size is 50, you have 49 degrees of freedom (df = n - 1). Using a t-distribution table with 49 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.01 (two-tailed), you can find the critical values. Typically, for a two-tailed test at 0.01 significance level, the critical values are approximately ±2.6851 (rounded to four decimal places). So, the critical value(s) for this test are approximately ±2.6851. If the calculated t-statistic falls beyond these critical values in either the lower or upper tail, you would reject the null hypothesis.
