A drink filling machine, when in perfect adjustment, fills the bottles with 8 ounces of drink on an
average. Any overfilling or underfilling results in the shutdown and readjustment of the
machine. A sample of 20 bottles is selected, and the sample shows an average filling volume of
7.5 ounces. To determine whether the machine is properly adjusted, the correct set of
