Week 10 Assignment Bottling Company Case Study
Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study Due Week 10 and
worth 140 points Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company.
Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced
in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of
product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to
investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at
random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to
measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set
provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.
Bottle Number
Ounces
Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:
Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles. Conduct a
hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen
(16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the
calculations, and the conclusion of your test. Provide the following discussion
based on the conclusion of your test: a. If you conclude that there are less
than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible
causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
Or
b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is
not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about
the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and
recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.

student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page
length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are: Calculate measurements of central tendency and dispersal. Determine
confidence intervals for data. Describe the vocabulary and principles of
hypothesis testing. Discuss application of course content to professional
contexts. Use technological tools to solve problems in statistics. Write
