A manufacturer of salad dressings uses machines to dispense liquid ingredients into bottles that move along a filling line. The machine that dispenses dressings is working properly when 8 ounces are dispensed. The standard deviation of the process is 0.15 ounces. Suppose that the average amount dispensed in a particular sample of 50 bottles is 7.952 ounces. Develop a 99 confidence interval around this sample mean.

Question 2

From a community of 80 homes, the EPA took a random sample and found the presence of lead in the tap water.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
