Professor has made measurements of his household solid waste, shown in the following table. If the container volume is 0.0757 m3, what is the average density of the solid waste produced in his household during the period of time from March 18th through April 8th? Assume that the mass of each empty container is 3.63 kg.

Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0 ounces. The fill volume can be assumed normal, with standard deviation σ1 = 0.020 and σ2 = 0.025 ounces. A member of the quality engineering staff suspects that both machines fill to the same mean net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0 ounces. A random sample of 10 bottles is taken from the output of each machine. (see the table attached) MACHINE 1 MACHINE 2 16.03 16.01 16.02 16.03 16.04 15.96 15.97 16.04 16.05 15.98 15.96 16.02 16.05 16.02 16.01 16.01 16.02 15.99 15.99 16.00 (a) Do you think the engineer is correct?
