The meat-packing department of a large grocery store packs ground beef in two-pound portions. Supervisors are concerned that their machine is no longer packaging the beef to the required specifications. To testthe claim that the mean weight of ground beef portions is not 2.00 pounds, thesupervisors calculate the mean weight for a simplerandom sample of 20 packages of beef. Thesample mean is 2.10pounds with astandard deviation of 0.33 pounds.
Is there sufficient evidence at the0.01 level of significanceto show that the machine is not working properly? (Assume that the weights are normally distributed.)
