Question

The supervisor of an orange juice-bottling company is considering the purchase of a new machine to bottle 16-fluid-ounce (473-milliliter) bottles of 100% pure orange juice and wants an estimate of the difference in the mean filling weights between the new machine and the old machine. Random samples of bottles of orange juice that had been filled by both machines were obtained. Estimate the difference in the mean filling weights between the new and the old machines? Dis- cuss the assumptions. Use α = 0.10.

New Machine Old Machine
Mean 470 milliliters 460 milliliters
Standard deviation 5 milliliters 7 milliliters
Sample size 15 12

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given

The data is as follows:

	New machine	Old machine
Mean	${\bar{x}}_{1} = 470$	${\bar{x}}_{2} = 460$
Standard deviation	$s_{1} = 5$	$s_{2} = 7$
Sample size	$n_{1} = 15$	$n_{2} = 12$

$α = 0.10$
