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.

An Urban council has installed 2000 lamps with mercury bulbs in the   streets of town area. The lifetimes of these bulbs are normally distributed with a mean of 1200 burning hours and having a standard deviation of 200 hours. 


(1) How many of these bulbs can be expected to fail in the first 800 burning hours? 

(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?

1.The amount of water consumed by a person per day on the job is normally distributed with mean 2 lts. and standard deviation 0.5 lt. A company supplies its employees with 200 lts of water daily. The company has 100 employees.

a. Find the probability that the water supplied by the company will not satisfy the water demanded by its employees.

b. Find the probability that in the next 4 days the company will not satisfy the water demanded by its employees on at least 1 of these 4 days. Assume that the amount of water consumed by the employees of the company is independent from day to day.

1. A job with a 90% learning curve required 20 hours for the initial unit. The eighth unit should require approximately how many hours?

TN = T1C

2. A job requires 20 hours for the initial unit and 12.8 hours for the fourth unit. What is the learning rate?

TN = T1C

3. A job with a 95% learning curve required 19 hours for the second unit. The first unit should require approximately how many hours?

TN = T1C

4. The first product took 10 hours to build and the learning curve is estimated to be 90%. How long will it take to make the eighth unit?

TN = T1C

5. The first unit of production took 10 hours with a 90% learning curve. How long will it take to complete both the first and second units?

TN = T1C
In a certain experiment to compare two types of sheep food A and B the following results of increase in weights were observed:

Sheep No 1 2 3 4 4 6 7 8
Food A 49 53 51 52 47 50 52 53
Food B 52 55 52 53 50 54 54 53

Assuming that the two samples of sheep are independent; can we conclude that Food B is better than Food A?
