Many consumers pay careful attention to stated nutritional contents on packaged foods when making purchases, so it is important that the information on packages be accurate. Suppose that a random sample of n = 12 frozen dinners of a certain type was selected and the calorie content of each one was determined. Below are the resulting observations, along with a boxplot and normal probability plot.
