Question
- Cans of 7-Up claim to contain 16 ounces. A sample of 40 cans are measured with an outcome of an average of 15.95 ounces. If the cans are filled so that the population
mean is 16 ounces (as labeled), with a standard deviation of 0.141, find theprobability that a sample of 40 cans will have an average amount greater than 16.01 ounces. Do the results suggest that cans of 7-Up are filled with an amount greater than 16 ounces?
