A vending machine is designed to dispense 8 ounces of coffee into a cup. After a test that recorded the number of ounces of coffee in each of 1000 cups dispensed by the vending machine, the 12 listed amounts, in ounces, were selected from the data. If the 1000 recorded amounts have a mean score of 8.1 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce, how many of the 12 listed amounts are within 1.5 standard deviations of the mean.

How do I approach this problem?

please read the forum rules:
read-before-you-post-general-verbal-folder-guidelines-t2718.htmlyou can't post problems in this folder without giving the
ORIGINAL SOURCE of the problem -- i.e., the company or author that
first produced the problem (not, for instance, a forum or other secondhand source on which it has previously been posted).
if you don't know the original source, then i'm sorry, but you can't post the problem here.
this applies to MGMAT problems as well -- there are over three thousand problems in our database, so we won't recognize all of them from memory.
we will delete this thread within a week if the original source of the problem is not posted. thanks.
