The machine that dispenses salad dressings is working properly when 8 ounces are dispensed. Suppose that the average amount dispensed in a particular sample of 35 bottles is 7.91 ounces with a variance of 0.03 ounces squared. Is there evidence that the machine production should be stopped and wait for repairs? The lost production from a shutdown is potentially so great that management feels that the level of significance in the analysis should be 99%.
