Baseballs vary somewhat in their rebounding coefficient. A baseball that has a large rebound coefficient will travel farther when the same force is applied to it than a ball with a smaller coefficient. To achieve a game in which each batter has an equal opportunity to hit a home run, the balls should have nearly the same rebound coefficient. A standard test has been developed to measure the rebound coefficient of baseballs. A purchaser of large quantities of baseballs requires that the mean coefficient value be 85 units and the standard deviation be less than 2 units. A random sample of 40 baseballs is selected from a large batch of balls and tested. The data are given here.
