Abstract: Abstract Apples of a popular brand called “Yarok” are automatically sorted by a special device which controls their size and eliminates those with surface defects. The population in our case is the totality of weight measurements of the daily batch of apples sorted by the device. The experiment consists of weighing a random sample of 20 apples taken from the batch. The results are summarized in Table 2.1.
