(b) The manufacturer of a soft drink claims that the mean volume of the soft drink bottles is
at least 503 ml. The volume of ten randomly selected bottles, recorded to the nearest 0.1
ml are:

502.5, 501.0, 501.5, 503.9, 498.7, 505.7, 504.6, 499.4, 501.8, 501.1

manufacturer, given that the population standard deviation for the volume of the
bottles is 1.8 ml.
(8 marks)

(ii) Verify your answer in part (b)(i) above by calculating the confidence interval for
the volume of all the bottles.

value of ( ) and ( ) .
(10 marks)

(b) Nuts and bolts are packed into packets of 1kg weight. Assuming the packets are normally
distributed with a standard deviation of 12g, find the probability that a randomly chosen
packet weighs:
(i) less than 985g.
(3 marks)
(ii) between 970g and 1015g.
(3 marks)

(c) A manufacturing plant imports a large batch of bearings. The proportion of these bearings
that are defective is 0.037.

(i) If a random sample of sixty bearings is taken, what is the probability that it will
contain no defective bearings?
(2 marks)
(ii) If a random sample of sixty bearings is taken, what is the probability that it will
contain at most three defective bearings?
(4 marks)

(iii) The plant will reject any batch of bearings if more than 5% of the bearings is
defective. What is the probability that the same batch of sixty bearings will be
rejected?
(3 marks)
