the outcomes are more readily understood and therefore really usable
solving using mathematics alone may be very difficult if not impossible

Question 8.8. A quality assurance technician has checked fifteen 2-liter bottles of a soft drink finding a 99% confidence interval of 1950 ml to 2025 ml for the mean fill volume. Which of the following is true? (Points : 1)
The sle indicates that the population mean lies between 1950 and 2025 ml.
There is a 99% likelihood that the bottles are being under-filled so the bottling process should be stopped.
