As per the data of frozen juice concentrate.
After conclusion of the 20 samples of the juice concentrate that there is a lot of variation in the weight of the cans
this data shows that there are over filled cans and few cans are leaked from one of the seams
Table Chart
Sample No Weight in OZ Difference from Standard Wt. Remarks
1 12 4 Over filled
2 15 7 Over filled
3 8 0 Equal
4 10 2 Over filled
5 4 -4 Leaked
6 7 -1 Leaked
7 16 8 Over filled
8 9 1 Over filled
9 14 6 Over filled
10 10 2 Over filled
11 5 -3 Leaked
12 6 -2 Leaked
13 17 9 Over filled
14 12 4 Over filled
15 22 14 Over filled
16 8 0 Equal
17 10 2 Over filled
18 5 -3 Leaked
19 13 5 Over filled
20 11 3 Over filled
It is clear after table chart that only 10 % of material if accurately filled
13 out of 20 i.e 65 % of cans are overfilled
5 out of 20 are leaked i.e 25 % of cans are leaked
After conclusion of all the facts it is almost clear that leakage occurs due to over filling of the cans as almost cans are over filled and leaked from the seams.
