A Paint Manufacturer Fills Cans of Paint Using a Machine

Question 20

Multiple Choice

A paint manufacturer fills cans of paint using a machine that has been calibrated to fill the cans to contain an average of 1 gallon (128 ounces) each. To test whether their machine has come out of calibration, the manufacturer takes a random sample of 25 cans and finds that they average 128.2 ounces with a standard deviation of 2 ounces. Is this strong evidence that the filling machine is set too high and thus is no longer calibrated properly?
What is the value of the standardized test statistic for this significance test?


A) -0.02.
B) 0.02.
C) 0.5.
