A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 137 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce.
You randomly select 35 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 136.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be reset? Explain your
reasoning.
it is
V that you would have randomly sampled 35 cans with a mean equal to 136.9 ounces, because it
V within the range of a usual
event, namely within
of the mean of the sample means.
