At the TRANSTEL nuclear facility, detailed records are kept of the quantity of uranium received, transported or used. Each shipment of uranium pellets received is carefully analyzed in the lab to check that the % purity and hence the total quantity is as the supplier claims. A particular shipment is analyzed with the following results: 99.90; 99.87; 99.91 and 99.86 %. The listed purity as received from the supplier is 99.95%. Is the shipment acceptable at the 95% confidence level?
