Test tube level indicator length is the quality characteristic of interest. 28 samples with sample size of 4 each, are chosen from the process. The data yields an average length of 11 cm and process standard deviation of 4 cm. What is the probability of having the length between 9 and 12 cm?
Give a definition for each term: standard deviation, calibration, uncertainty.
