A bottled water distributor wants to estimate the amount ofwater contained in
1-gallon
bottles purchased from a nationally known water bottlingcompany. The water bottling company's specifications statethat the standard deviation of the amount of water is equal to
0.03
gallon. A random sample of
50
bottles is selected, and the sample mean amount of waterper
1-gallon
bottle is
0.971
gallon. Complete parts (a) through (d).
Question content area bottom
Part 1
a.
Construct a
95%
confidence interval estimate for the population mean amount ofwater included in a 1-gallon bottle.

(Round to five decimal places as needed.)
Part 2
b.
On the basis of these results, do you think that thedistributor has a right to complain to the waterbottling company? Why?
▼
Yes,
No,
because a 1-gallon bottle containingexactly 1-gallon of water lies
▼
within
outside
the
95%
confidence interval.
Part 3
c.
Must you assume that the population amount of water per bottleis normally distributed here? Explain.
A.No, because the Central Limit Theorem almost always ensuresthat
X
is normally distributed when n is small. In this case, thevalue of n is small.
B.Yes, because the Central Limit Theorem almost always ensuresthat
X
is normally distributed when n is large. In this case, thevalue of n is small.
C.
Yes, since nothing is known about the distribution ofthe population, it must be assumed that the population isnormally distributed.
D.No, because the Central Limit Theorem almost always ensuresthat
X
is normally distributed when n is large. In this case, thevalue of n is large.
Part 4
d.
Construct a
90%
confidence interval estimate. How does this change your answerto part (b)?
