3 At a vineyard, the process used to fill bottles with wine is subject to variation. The contents of bottles are independently Normally distributed with mean \(\mu = 751.4 \mathrm { ml }\) and standard deviation \(\sigma = 2.5 \mathrm { ml }\).
- Find the probability that a randomly selected bottle contains at least 750 ml .
- A case of wine consists of 6 bottles. Find the probability that all 6 bottles in a case contain at least 750 ml .
- Find the probability that, in a random sample of 25 cases, there are at least 2 cases in which all 6 bottles contain at least 750 ml .
It is decided to increase the proportion of bottles which contain at least 750 ml to \(98 \%\).
- This can be done by changing the value of \(\mu\), but retaining the original value of \(\sigma\). Find the required value of \(\mu\).
- An alternative is to change the value of \(\sigma\), but retain the original value of \(\mu\). Find the required value of \(\sigma\).
- Comment briefly on which method might be easier to implement and which might be preferable to the vineyard owners.
