Question:

A labor union is becoming defensive about gross absenteeism by its members. The union leaders had always claimed that, in a typical month, 95% of its members were absent less than 10 hours. The union decided to check this by monitoring a random sample of 300 of its members. The number of hours absent was recorded for each of the 300 members. The results were x̅ = 6.5 hours and s = 2.5 hours. Use the data to respond to this claim, using a one-sided tolerance limit and choosing the confidence level to be 99%. Be sure to interpret what you learn from the tolerance limit calculation.
