The examination of the ounces that the bottle have indicates that they have a mean of 15.854, median of 15.99, standard deviation of 0.661381 and 95% confidence level of 0.246963721.The fact that these are the descriptive statistics of the bottle content and the additional attribute that there is a corresponding interval of +.24, it is right to conclude, with 95% certainty that the actual mean of the bottle content is falling between the range of 15.75 and 16.23.

The null hypothesis for this case is that the content of the soda bottle that the company is selling contain the actual volume advertised, which is 16 ounce.

The alternative hypothesis encompasses the assertion that the produced soda bottle that the company is selling contain less soda content that that the advertised 16 ounces

Relying on the 95% confidence interval that the content of the soda bottle is between 15.75 and 16.23, there is the reliable statistical basis to support the rejection of the null hypotheses and to support the alternative hypothesis. Thus, it is right for me to say that the bottles contain less than the 16 ounces that are advertised as being the true volume in the soda bottles. There is an assortment of factors that could be responsible for the failure to attain the correct soda volumes in these bottles. These reasons could be the fact that there is the failure by the management to implement the necessary repairs and maintenance of their machines, issues that could result in them becoming defecting in their failing. Additionally, it is the duty of employees to inspect the bottles before their packaging thus by failing to check from the content of these bottles; they are packed being less than the said volume. Natural factors as evaporating during their transportation as well as storage facilities is the additional factor making them fail to reach the required volume.

The recommendations to the company encompass the fact that the supervisors need to ensure that the subordinate employees are carrying out their inspection duties. Additionally, the company needs to institute a structured schedule for the maintenance as well as repairs of their bottling machinery. Placing disclaimers on the bottles warning the consumers that there is the likelihood of the bottle content evaporating during transportation and storage is the additional suggestion that the company should implement.
