BIG has good reason to believe that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, u, is greater than 7.2 ounces, and plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a random sample of fill amounts and find that the mean of the sample is 7.6 ounces and that the standard deviation is 0.5 ounces.
