The viscosity of a liquid detergent is supposed to average 800 centistokes at 25°C. A random sample of 16 batches of detergent is collected, and the average viscosity is 812. Suppose we know that the standard deviation of viscosity is σ = 25 centistokes.  (a) What is the P-value for the test? (b) Find a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean.
