A machine fills cans with SD 66 mL. Every hour 99 cans are measured, and the machine is recalibrated if the sample mean is more than kk mL away from the target 250250 mL. When the machine is working correctly (mean 250250, fill roughly normal), a recalibration should happen only about 1.24%1.24\% of the time. Find kk.
