Consider a manufacturing process that fills bottles with soda. The filling machine is imperfect, with a natural process standard deviation of o = 0.05 ounces (normally distributed). The label on the bottles claims that they contain 12 ounces, so the company uses this as the lower spec limit. To try to keep from having to go back and add soda too often, the firm uses a target of 12.12 ounces for each bottle. The upper spec limit is designated as 12.25 ounces (any more than that causes potential bottle explosions). The variable cost of this soda is 9 cents per ounce. Bottles that are not filled enough cost $0.28 to fix, while bottles that are overfilled cost $0.21 to fix. The process can fill 140 bottles per hour. The firm works 18 hours per day, 340 days per year. How many bottles per year are underfilled (i.e., not filled enough)? O A. 11,052 B. 2813 C. 181,556 D. 7026 O E. 1967 OF. 849,774
