Question:

Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends against using kitchen utensils to dose liquid medicines, many people still do so, resulting in dosing errors and even pediatric poisonings. The letter “Spoons Systematically Bias Dosing of Liquid Medicine” (Annals of Internal Med. 2010: 66–67) reported on an experiment involving a sample of 195 individuals. Each individual was asked to pour exactly 5 mL of a liquid medication into a mediumsized tablespoon whose capacity was 15 mL. The sample mean amount poured was 4.58 mL and the sample standard deviation was 2.55 mL. Does this data indicate that the true average amount poured is different from the desired dose? Test at the .05 level.
