The amount of coffee dispensed by a vending machine is assumed to be normally distributed. A vendor claims that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine is 6 ounces per cup.  The office manager doubted this claim. He randomly selected thirty-six cups of coffee from this machine and recorded the amount of coffee dispensed in each. The sample mean was 5.8 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.8 ounces. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean amount of coffee dispensed is less than 6 ounces per cup? Test the hypothesis at α=0.05.
