Calculate rejection rate if standard deviation is reduced


On an assembly line that fills 8-ounce cans, a can will be rejected if its weight is less than 7.90 ounces. In a large sample, the mean and the standard deviation of the weight of a can is measured to be 8.05 and 0.05 oz, respectively. (a) Calculate the percentage of the cans that is expected to be rejected on the basis of the given criterion. (b) If the filling equipment is adjusted so that the average weight becomes 8.10 oz, but the standard deviation remains 0.05 oz, calculate the rejection rate (% of cans being rejected). (c) If the filling equipment is adjusted so that the average weight remains 8.05 oz, but the standard deviation is reduced to 0.03 oz, calculate the rejection rate.
