Proportion Testing of Minute Maid (Volume of Minute Maid in mL)

VALDEZ, HERBERT JOSEPH | MONUNGOLH, PAULO DOMINIC | LADARAN, WENCELL IZA

ABSTRACT:
THIS
STUDY AIMS TO CHECK IF THE VOLUME OF A BOTTLED DRINK, NAMELY MINUTE MAID AT 330 ML, IS PROPORTION. THE RESEARCHERS COLLECTED AND COMPARED THE VOLUME OF 60 BOTTLES OF MINUTE MAID. THE BOTTLES WERE COLLECTED FROM DIFFERENT SUPPLIERS BUT WITH THE SAME CONDITIONS. AND FOUND AS:

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

THE
STUDY WAS PROPOSED BECAUSE OF THE INCREASING NUMBER OF CONSUMERS THAT ARE CONSISTENTLY BUYING MINUTE MAID. THE FACT THAT MINUTE MAID IS A COSTLY PRODUCT, THE PRODUCERS SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE VOLUME IS STANDARD SO AS NOT TO WASTE THE MONEY OF THE CONSUMER. APPLYING STATISTICS AND WITH THE USE OF GATHERED DATA THE RESEARCHERS WERE ABLE TO ANALYZE STATISTICALLY HOW THE VOLUME OF MINUTE MAID IS STANDARD.

Testing of Proportion: x = 12 n = 60 p = 12/60 Confidence Coefficient: 1 - a = 0.98 za/2 = 2.33 p =12/60 2.33 [[(12) (18)]/(603)]1/2 = (0.080,0.320)

PROBLEM:
IS THE VOLUME OF MINUTE MAID PROPORTION?

Interpretation: pu <0.5; Not Preferred

SUMMARY:
IN
THIS STUDY, THE RESEARCHERS WANTED TO KNOW THE PROPORTION OF MINUTE MAID AND WHAT IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA. COLLECTION OF 60 BOTTLES WERE MADE AND TESTED. AFTER THE TESTING, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE VOLUME DID NOT SATISFY THE GIVEN CONTENT SINCE PU IS LOWER THAN 0.5.

METHODOLOGY:
THE
EQUIPMENTS TO BE USED WERE PREPARED. TWO GRADUATED CYLINDERS WITH VOLUMES 250 ML AND 100 ML RESPECTIVELY, WERE USED TO MEASURE THE VOLUME OF EACH BOTTLE. THE BOTTLES WERE MARKED TO THE LEVEL OF THE LOWER MENISCUS OF THE ORIGINAL CONTENT THEN WATER WAS PLACED ON EACH BOTTLE CORRESPONDING TO THE MARK AND MEASURED. THE VOLUMES WERE CHECKED IF IT EXCEEDED OR WAS LOWER THAN THE STANDARD VOLUME OF 330 ML. THE SET UP IS REPEATED 60 TIMES.

CONCLUSION:
AFTER
GATHERING DATA AND COMPUTING WHETHER THE CLAIM OF THE RESEARCHERS IS VALID, THE RESEARCHERS CAME UP WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT THE VOLUME IS NOT PROPORTIONAL. PROVIDING BASIS THAT DRINK DOES NOT FOLLOW THE CONTENT REQUIREMENT STATED.

Data and Results:

RECOMMENDATION:
THE
RESEARCHERS WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE SAMPLES; TO PRODUCE A BROADER ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT. THERE IS A CONDITION IN PROPORTIONS THAT THE SAMPLE SIZE SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH TO GET AN APPROXIMATE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. THE SAMPLES SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN FROM A SINGLE LOCATION OR BOUGHT FROM A SINGLE STORE; THE RESEARCHERS BOUGHT THE BOTTLES FROM DIFFERENT STORES. IT COULD POSSIBLY MEAN THAT THE MACHINES USED ARE DIFFERENT THUS MAKING THE RESULTS UNRELIABLE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
