The Local Pharmacy Prides Itself on the Accuracy of the Number

question 141

Short Answer

The local pharmacy prides itself on the accuracy of the number of tablets that are dispensed in a 60-count prescription. The new manager feels that the pharmacy assistants might have become careless in counting due to an increase in the volume of prescriptions. To test her theory, she randomly selects 40 prescriptions requiring 60 tablets and recounts the number in each bottle. She finds a sample mean of 62.05 and a standard deviation of 4.45. Calculate the test statistic for using the critical value rule testing that the number of tablets is significantly different from 60.
