Bottling Company Case Study
As a manager at a major bottling company, customers have complained that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in the company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. There is need to solve the problem at hand and has to be investigated. Employees are instructed to pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant and measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle.
The table (i) below shows the number of ounces of soda in each bottle randomly pulled off the line.
Soda bottle S/N Quantity of ounces contained Soda bottle S/N Quantity of ounces contained Soda bottle S/N Quantity of ounces contained
1 14.5 11 15 21 14.1
2 14.6 12 15.1 22 14.2
3 14.7 13 15 23 14

For tests about one mean , when the population standard deviation s is known, we use s when calculating the test statistic. (for population standard deviation), , (for sample standard deviation), the equations above are called the z scores. Therefore in our case we use . Hence for bottle 19, , = 0.346.
Using Moore’s table the p-value = 1, and significant level = 0.1. Now since p-value is greater than the significance value, then the hypothesis is considered rejected. It therefore negates the claim that the mean number of ounces in each bottle is less than sixteen (16) therefore it is not true.
It therefore follows that the customers’ complaints may be right but not all soda bottles have less than 16 ounces each as it may be claimed. There is need for appropriate measures to be taken by ensuring that the right number of ounces are in each bottle of soda. The company should also ensure that such a thing does not happen in the future through routine checking of the machines and equipments used in the firm to ensure accuracy of the product. Enough quality assurance personnel should be employed to ensure close monitoring of all the processes of soda processing which will guarantee quality as per the

Karin Klein believed it was unnecessary and stated herself “In restaurants and other establishments overseen by the city’s health inspectors, it would have been illegal to sell a serving of most sugary drinks that’s more than 16 oz. Then Klein later stated “A pizza restaurant would not be able to sell a 2-liter bottle of soda that would be shared among children at a birthday party.” This means it will make people spend double even
Buying two 16 oz. sodas, is just as easy. So what is so impactful to remove a 32oz. portion cup? The short article, “Soda’s a problem but…” states, “If people are so helpless against soda, the mayor’s edict would be even more meaningless because people would simply buy two 16-ounce cups”.
¨Several critics questioned why the city was making proposal on sugary drinks a priority when some city schoolchildren have no physical education classes.¨ (Washington TImes) In New York, Mayor Bloomberg placed a law on the sizes of soda citizens are allowed to get. However, this caused a lot of controversy on whether the ban was good or bad. Despite the amount of people supporting the ban´s choice, the ban does have some downsides on it. It is not a good idea to limit the amount of a soda a person can purchase (or propose the ban) because it's not applying to all, it's taking rights away from people, and itś not a big deal.

Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide - Lab Report Background Information/Introduction: The aim of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide by converting magnesium to magnesium oxide. As an alkali earth metal, magnesium reacts violently when heated with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride as a byproduct. In order to obtain only magnesium oxide, distilled water was added so that magnesium nitride will react and convert to magnesium hydroxide. Further heating then oxidizes all of the magnesium into magnesium oxide.

Chemistry IA Background information: Introduction: Electrolysis it’s a chemical process that when you pass an electric current into a solution or a liquid that contains ions to separate substances back to their original form. The main components that are required for electrolysis to take a place are: Electrolyte: it’s a substance that when dissolved in water it ionize and then it will contain free moving ions and without these moving ions the process of electrolysis won’t take place. Direct current (DC): This current provides the energy needed to discharge the ions in the electrolyte Electrodes: it’s an object that conducts electricity and it’s used in electrolysis as a bridge between the solution and power supply. A great example
