7. A machine fills packets with \(X\) grams of powder where \(X\) is normally distributed with mean \(\mu\). Each packet is supposed to contain 1 kg of powder.
To comply with regulations, the weight of powder in a randomly selected packet should be such that \(\mathrm { P } ( X < \mu - 30 ) = 0.0005\)
- Show that this requires the standard deviation to be 9.117 g to 3 decimal places.
A random sample of 10 packets is selected from the machine. The weight, in grams, of powder in each packet is as follows
999.8991 .61000 .31006 .11008 .2997 .0993 .21000 .0997 .11002 .1
- Assuming that the standard deviation of the population is 9.117 g , test, at the \(1 \%\) significance level, whether or not the machine is delivering packets with mean weight of less than 1 kg . State your hypotheses clearly.
