StatisticsWhat is one potential problem with this simulation?
In order to run this simulation you would need to plot the data in a sampling distribution to see where the average shoe size was located.
This is not an appropriate situation in which to run a simulation. The best thing to do is to collect all of the data from the school.
The only shoe sizes that are represented are sizes 5-8. There are many males that have shoe sizes between 8 and 10. This is not a correct representation of the population.
This simulation is run correctly. They are randomly generating 50 numbers to represent the shoe sizes of males in the school.

Basic MathWorkers at a certain soda drink factory collected data on the volumes (in ounces) of a simple random sample of 25 cans of the soda drink. Those volumes have a
mean of 12.19 oz and a standard deviation of 0.09 oz, and they appear to be from a normally distributed population. If the workers want the filling process to work so
that almost all cans have volumes between 12.02 oz and 12.54 oz, the range rule of thumb can be used to estimate that the standard deviation should be less than
0.13 oz. Use the sample data to test the claim that the population of volumes has a standard deviation less than 0.13 oz. Use a 0.05 significance level. Complete
parts (a) through (d) below.
