A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 8 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 16 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 8.17 fluid ounces and 0.28 fluid ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ, differs from 8 fluid ounces?

A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 8 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 16
randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 8.17 fluid ounces and 0.28 fluid
ounces, respectively.
If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ,
differs from 8 fluid ounces? Use the 0.10 level of significance.
Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
