A consumer organization was concerned
about the differences between the advertised sizes
of containers and the actual amount of product. In
a preliminary study, six packages of three different
brands of margarine that are supposed to contain
500 ml were measured. The differences from
500 ml are listed here. Do these data provide
sufficient evidence to conclude that differences exist
between the three brands? Use = .01.

(2) How many of these bulbs can be expected to fail in Between 900 and 1750 burning hours?
(3) After what number of burning hours would you expect that 10 % of the bulbs would fail?
(4) After what number of burning hours would you expect that 150 bulbs are still in good condition?
