Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the 

bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) 

ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You 

have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. 

You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set 

provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.

is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.

future. 

Or 

b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide 

a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the 

reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating

this issue in the future.
