•  
• 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. Note Use the data set provided
  by your instructor to complete this assignment.
• Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which
  you
• 1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard
  deviation for ounces in the bottles.
• 2. Construct a 95 Confidence Interval for the
  ounces in the bottles.
• 3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the
  claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen
  (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic
  of your test, the calculations, and the
