A company produces packets of soap powder labeled Giant Size 32 Ounces. The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a normal distribution with a mean of 33 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. How heavy does a box have to be for it to be labeled overweight

Respuesta :

In order to be labeled overweight the weight of box should be of 34.15 ounces.

Given mean of 33 ounces, standard deviation=0.7 ounces. Production of packets of 32 ounces.

Because it is normally distributed samples are solved using the z score formula.

In this Z=X-meu/st

meu is sample mean and st is population standard deviation.

We have to find the z score and then p value from the z table.

meu =33 and st=0.7

Top 5% so X when Z has a p value of 1-0.05=0.95. So X when Z=1.645.

Z=(X-meu)/st

1.645=(X-33)/0.7

X-33=0.7*1.645

X-33=1.1515

X=1.1515+33

X=34.1515 ounces.

Hence to be labeled overweight the box must have 34.15 ounces weight.
