Question
A fruit-canning company produces 250ml pineapple juice cans at its bottling plant. The population standard deviation for volume of pineapple juice filled in the cans this company measured was 10ml. Assume that this company takes a random sample of 25 cans. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution?
