...| The Bottling Company Case Study | MAT300 (Statistics)Professor Pamela Self | | | 9/7/2014 | | Abstract In my research I find the mean, median, and standard deviations. These are simple calculations that can be done in Excel as long as you have the correct information. I was given the ounces of thirty bottles and had to find out whether the bottling companies were putting less than the advertised amount of liquid into the bottles. I believe the companies were putting enough in there but my results showed different. In my assignment, I had to find the mean, median, standard deviation, and confidence interval. I have inserted a spreadsheet to show my calculations. To find the mean I took the sum of ounces for all thirty bottles that were given (=average(B3:B32). To find the median I used the formula in Excel which is: =MEDIAN(B3:B32). To find the standard deviation, I used the formula in Excel as well which is: =STDEVA(B3:B32). The 95% confidence interval is +1.96 and -1.96. I took each bottle and added and subtracted the standard deviation from it to get my results. Majority of the bottles fell within the 95% confidence interval of 14.67 and 15.07. From my results, I was able to create a hypothesis that the claim of bottling companies are putting less than sixteen ounces in the bottle to be true. There can be many reasons the bottles are coming with less than sixteen ounces in them. One reason could be the types of machines that are being used are not set...

...Bottling Company Case Study Jason Otterbach Instructor: Agata Corobana Strayer University June 8, 2014 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. A Confidence interval is a term used in inferential statistics that measures the probability that a population or sample parameter will be fall between two set values. The confidence interval can take any number of probabilities, with the most common being 95% or 99% (Investopedia.com, n.d.). To find the 95% confidence interval for the ounces in the bottles, we need to find the margin of error E. E =Z_C*(Ó/√(n) 446.1 / 30 = 14.87 x̄ = 14.87 n= 30 σ = 0.5503 E = (14.87 + 14.87) / 2 = 14.8 The 95% confidence interval for the ounces in the bottles can be written as x̄ ±E = 14.87- 0.2 and 14.87 + 0.2 = 14.67 ~ 15.07 In conclusion, with 95% confidence, the mean of the ounces in the bottles is between 14.67 ~ 15.07 ounces. A statistical hypothesis is a statement about the distribution of the data variable X. Equivalently, a statistical hypothesis specifies a set of possible...

...Soda company | Bottling Company Case Study | Dr. Gregory Wright | | Michael Painter | 12/10/2015 | Statistics | Bottling Company Case Study Customer satisfaction is important to any business that is in business to please their customers who buy their products. That is no different than where I’m at as a manager of a bottling company. I want to make my customers happy and there have been complaints that our sodas are not meeting the labeled size of sixteen ounces. Customers are saying that there are less than sixteen ounces in our bottle. I plan to perform tests to see if we really do having a problem and if we do we need to correct the issue. For use to determine what is going on we collected a sample of bottles from all shifts at the plant for a total of 30 bottles. We calculated the amount of liquid in ounces of each bottle and recorded our date. We determined from the data gathered that out mean is 15.85 ounces, the mode was 16.21 ounces and the median was 15.99 ounces. From the data gathered we were then able to determine the standard deviation of the thirty bottles which was 0.66138 ounces. This information will allow us to see what our average is with the mean and from our average we are below the promised 16 ounces we promote. Then we look at our mode and it shows that our most commonly seen number is 16.21 ounces which tells our team that we have several bottles that are over 16 ounces. Once we achieve those numbers we construct a 95 percent confidence...

...Expert systems are computer applications that combine computer equipment, software, and specialized information to imitate expert human reasoning and advice. As a branch of artificial intelligence, expert systems provide discipline-specific advice and explanation to their users. While artificial intelligence is a broad field covering many aspects of computer-generated thought, expert systems are more narrowly focused. Typically, expert systems function best with specific activities or problems and a discrete database of digitized facts, rules, cases, and models. Expert systems are used widely in commercial and industrial settings, including medicine, finance, manufacturing, and sales. As a software program, the expert system integrates a searching and sorting program with a knowledge database. The specific searching and sorting program for an expert system is known as the inference engine. The inference engine contains all the systematic processing rules and logic associated with the problem or task at hand. Mathematical probabilities often serve as the basis for many expert systems. The second component—the knowledge database—stores necessary factual, procedural, and experiential information representing expert knowledge. Through a procedure known as knowledge transfer, expertise (or those skills and knowledge that sustain a much better than average performance) passes from human expert to knowledge engineer. The knowledge engineer actually creates and structures the knowledge...

...Case Study: Cola Wars In this case study I will be comparing the economic factors that go into both the concentrate and bottling elements of the soft drink industry. I will touch on the varying factors of development for both and talk about the profitability of both types of companies. Coca-Cola and Pepsi both own their own concentrate company and bottling company and do not use outside help. We will be analyzing both companies extensively in this case study. Concentrate Producers First, I will touch on what costs go into a concentrate business and how these companies try to deflect some of these costs. Concentrate companies specialize in converting the raw materials of cola manufacturing into a concentrate and then sending this formula to the bottler. A concentrate factory usually requires little capital in machinery, overhead and labor because one piece of automated equipment will usually be enough to make the different formulas of soda. According to the case one plant with the capability of serving the United States would cost between $50 and $100 million dollars. The producer’s main costs come from the advertising, promotion and market research side. The concentrate company is focused on how to get the consumer to buy their formula and not the other companies. They also are focused on coming to agreements with national retailers in order to get their product on the shelf. Concentrate producers also focus on helping smaller bottlers improve and increase sales efforts...

...Running head: BOTTLING COMPANY CASE STUDY 1 Bottling Company Case Study BOTTLING COMPANY CASE STUDY 2 Abstract In this assignment, I am a manager at a major bottling company and the customers have begun to make complaints that the bottles of the brand of soda produced at the company I work for have less than the advertised 16 ounces of soda. My boss wants me to solve the problem and has asked me to investigate into the situation. I have the employees on the floor pull 30 bottles off the line at random from every shift which I assume is from three shifts and I have asked the employees involved to measure the amount of soda there is in each of the 30 bottles. The Mean, Median and Standard Deviation The mean or average of a data set is simply the average of all the numbers in the set. To find the average mean add up all the numbers in the data set and divide by how many numbers in the set. In this situation, there are 30 bottles with the weight of 14.5, 14.6, 14.7,14.8,14.9,15.3,14.9, 15.3, 14.9,15.5,14.8,15.2,15,15.1,15,14.4,15.8,14,16,16,15.8,14.5,14.1,14.2,14,14.9,14.7,14.5, 14.6,14.8, and 14.6. The total is 446.1 and divided by 30 and the mean is 14.87.
