Beer bottles are filled so that they contain an average of 335 ml of beer in each bottle. Suppose that the amount of beer in a bottle is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7 ml. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.] a. What is the probability that a randomly selected bottle will have less than 332 ml of beer? (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places, “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.) b. What is the probability that a randomly selected 6-pack of beer will have a mean amount less than 332 ml? (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places, “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

A) 0.3336; B) 0.8531

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A,

We use the z-score formula for an individual score:

[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Our X value is 332, our mean, μ, is 335, and our standard deviation, σ, is 7:

z = (332-335)/7 = -3/7 ≈ -0.43

Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve less than this (the probability that X is less than this value) is 0.3336.

For part B,

We use the z-score formula for the mean of a sample:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\sigma \div \sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Our X-bar value is 332, our mean, μ, is 335, our standard deviation, σ, is 7, and our sample size, n, is 6:

z = (332-335)/(7÷√6) = 3/2.8577 ≈ 1.05

Using a z table, we see that the are under the curve to the left of this, or the probability less than this, is 0.8531.

The respective probability that a randomly selected bottle will have less than 332 ml of beer are; 0.3336 and 0.1469

What is the p-value of the statistic?

We are given;

Population mean; μ = 335

standard deviation; σ = 7

A) P(X < 332)

z = (332 - 335)/7

z = -0.43

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have;

p-value = 0.3336

B) We want to find  the probability that a randomly selected 6-pack of beer will have a mean amount less than 332 ml. Thus;

z = (x' - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (332 - 335)/(7/√6)

z = 1.05

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have;

p-value = 0.1469
