A water bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 34.1 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.13 thousand bottles. A nearby cola bottling facility has a mean bottling rate of 25.7 thousand bottles per hour with a standard deviation of 1.63 thousand bottles. One Wednesday from noon to \( 1: 00 \) p.m., the water bottling facility bottled 35.3 thousand bottles of water, and the cola bottling facility bottled 26.8 thousand bottles of cola. Which facility increased their efficiency more during that hour? Answer O the water bottling facility Othe cola bottling facility O there is not enough information to determine

In order to monitor the ecological health of the Florida Everglades, various measurements are recorded at different times. The bottom temperatures are recorded at the Garfield Bight station and the mean of 30.4 C is obtained for 61 temperatures recorded on 61 different days. Assume a population standard deviation of 1.7 C , test the claim that the population mean is greater than 30.0 C . Use a 0.10 significance level. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and state your conclusion. You would [Select] [Select ] population mean is greater than 30.0 C .

How many college students are needed to estimate the mean grade point average of all current college students in the United Sates within 20\% percentage points with a \( 99 \% \) confidence. An earlier study gave an estimate of 0.79 for the population standard deviation. \( \mathrm{n}= \)

Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate. Consumer Reports magazine of "best buy, recommended, not recommended" [Select ]

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are dosely related. Let \( x \) be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter ( \( 1 / 10 \) of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12 -hoi fast, the random variable \( x \) will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean \( \mu=87 \) and standard deviation \( \sigma=23 \). Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50 ) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) \( x \) is more than 60 (b) \( x \) is less than 110 (c) \( x \) is between 60 and 110 (d) \( x \) is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125 )
