An offshore orifice flow meter is regulated so that the amount of oil dispensed averages 240
mL with a standard deviation of 15 mL. Periodically, the meter is checked by taking a sample
of 40 cans and computing the average content. If the mean of the 40 cans is a value within
the interval 𝜇!̅ ± 2𝜎!̅ , the flow meter is thought to be operating satisfactorily; otherwise, a
calibration is made. The company official found the mean of 40 cans to be 𝑥̅ = 236 mL and
concluded that the flow meter needed no calibration. Was this a reasonable decision?
