the trees have the same age and are all of the same variety, I know that 12 oranges give me a gallon of juice, well sometimes I get the gallon with 11 oranges and the other day it took me 13 oranges.
I sold 360 oranges to these boy-scouts so they would make money selling juice, I talked to their Rover and he said the kids got to sell 36 gallons. Now I wonder, what is the probability they diluted with water?

100% probability they used water, even if it would only took 11 oranges to get 1 gallon, 360 oranges would make 32.727272... or 32.73 gallons of orange juice.

The scouts got an average 360/36 = 10 oranges to give them a gallon of juice.
You never got a gallon from 10 oranges.
The probability they added water is virtually 100%

Sometimes it just depends on the type of oranges you have... How big or small they are but usually 11-15 oranges does the job...
