An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.0 pounds/square inch. The valve was tested on 22 engines and the mean pressure was 6.7 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 0.7.
