A soft-drink machine is regulated so that the amount of drink dispensed averages 240 milliliters with a standard deviation of 15 milliliters. Periodically, the machine is checked by taking a sample of 40 drinks and computing the average content. If the mean of the 40 drinks is a value within the interval \(\mu_{\bar{X}} \pm 2 \sigma_{\bar{X}}\), the machine is thought to be operating satisfactorily; otherwise, adjustments are made. In Section 8.3, the company official found the mean of 40 drinks to be \(\bar{x}=236\) milliliters and concluded that the machine needed no adjustment. Was this a reasonable decision?
