The quality control system in a plant that makes acoustical ceiling tile uses a proximity sensor to measure the thickness of the wet pulp layer every 2 ft along the sheet, and the roller speed is adjusted based on the last 20 measurements. Briefly, the speed is adjusted unless the probability that the mean thickness lies within ±2 percent of the sample mean exceeds 0.99. A typical set of measurements (in millimeters) is as follows:

8.2, 9.8, 9.92, 10.1, 9.98, 10.2, 10.2, 10.16, 10.0, 9.94, 9.9, 9.8, 10.1, 10.0, 10.2, 10.3, 9.94, 10.14, 10.22, 9.8

Would the speed of the rollers be adjusted based on these measurements? Justify your answer.
