Question

You have just taken ownership of a pizza shop. The previous owner told you that you
would save money if you bought the mozzarella cheese in a 4.5 pound slab. Each time
you purchase a slab of cheese, you weigh it to ensure that you are receiving 72 ounces
of cheese. The results of 7 random measurements are 70, 69, 73, 68, 71, 69 and 71
ounces. Are these differences due to chance or is the distributor giving you less cheese
than you deserve?
