6. To assess the accuracy of a laboratory scale, a standard weight known to weigh 10 grams is weighed repeatedly. The scale readings are normally distributed with unknown mean (this mean is 10 grams if the scale has no bias). The standard deviation of the scale readings is known to be 0.01 gram. The weight is weighed five times.The following R output summarises the results. summary (scales)Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu.
