You have been given a technical report with the results of a sample of 25 dry combat meals taken from today's shipment. The sample had a mean weight of 8.0 ounces and a standard deviation of .1 ounce.

The contractor contends that the difference between the specified weight and the sample weight is due to sampling error.

  1. Is it likely that the contractor is right?
  2. That is, would you accept the shipment?

NOTE : Your supervisor has instructed you to use a 5 percent significance level for all statistical analysis.
