1. A dog treat company's machine is designed to fill boxes so that the mean weight of treats in the boxes is 18 ounces. A simple random sample of 30 boxes produced by the machine yields a mean weight of 17.9 ounces of treats and a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces of treats. (a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true mean weight of treats in the boxes filled by this machine. (4 points) Construct: (2 points) Interpret: (2 points) (b) Does the interval in part (a) give convincing evidence that the machine is not filling boxes with the correct amount of treats (u=18)? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)
