Quality Control of Doughnuts The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels

Question:

Quality Control of Doughnuts The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels stating that there are 12 doughnuts weighing a total of 42 oz. If the variation among the doughnuts is too large, some boxes will be underweight (cheating consumers) and others will be overweight (lowering profit). A consumer would not be happy with a doughnut so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope, nor would a consumer be happy with a doughnut so large that it resembles a tractor tire. The quality-control supervisor has found that he can stay out of trouble if the doughnuts have a mean of 3.50 oz and a standard deviation of 0.06 oz or less. Twelve doughnuts are randomly selected from the production line and weighed, with the results given here (in ounces). Construct a 95% confidence interval for s, then determine whether the quality-control supervisor is in trouble.
