FINAL EXAMINATION: JANUARY 2017 SESSION

Instructions: This paper consists of FIVE (5) questions. Answer any FOUR (4) questions in the
answer booklet provided. All questions carry equal marks.

Question 1

(a) A new production line is designed to dispense 12-ounce(oz) of a drink into each can as it
passes along the line. After calibration and training of the assembly personnel, five
observations on , the amount of drink dispensed per can, are taken each hour for a 6-
hour period. The following Table 1 summarizes the readings on , collected during this
6-hour period.
