The operations manager of Green Apple Juice Co. is concerned about the quality of the company's 8-0z bottle filling line and will track it. The bottles need to be filled according to the specified tolerances for this product because the nutritional details on the label indicate that the serving size is 8 ounces. The product's design standard specifies a fill level of 8.00 ounces, with a tolerance of +-0.067 ounces. The manager gathered nine observations and obtained the next samples data during the production process:
\table[[Sample,Fluid oz per bottle],[Average,Range],[1,8.03,0.09],[2,7.99,0.13],[3,7.98,0.09],[4,8.03,0.10],[5,8.03,0.13],[6,8.01,0.09],[7,8.02,0.06],[8,8.00,0.06],[9,7.99,0.05],[10,7.99,0.11]]
