QUESTION:

Soup A machine is supposed to fill cans with 16 oz of soup. Of course there, will be some variation in the amount actually dispensed, and measurement errors are often approximately normally distributed. The manager would like to understand the variability of the variances of the samples, so he collects information from the last 250 batches of size 10 and plots a histogram of the variances a) Would a Normal model be a useful model for this sampling distribution? Explain. b) The mean of this distribution is 0.009 and the SD is 0.004. Would you expect about 95% of the samples to have their variances within 0.008 of 0.009? Why or why not?
