A whisky distillery sells bottles of whisky with declared contents of 750 ml. The 1979 Weights and Measures Act stipulates that: Tutorial Q1.5 Condition (i) requires : (i) the average contents must exceed 750 ml (ii) no more than 2½ % of output must contain less than 735 ml (iii) no bottles must contain less than 720 ml The distillery buys new bottling machinery with a standard deviation of 10 ml. The mean volume dispensed can be adjusted. What volume should the mean be set at? Condition (ii) requires : 750 < μ 735 +1.96 0 < μl ⇒ >754.6 Condition (iii) is less specifically defined in the context of a normal distribution. To be on the safe side: 720 + 46 < μ → μ>760
