(a) Describe the distribution of x, the amount of fill per jar.

1) skewed right

2) normal

3) skewed left

4) chi-square

(b) Find the probability that one jar selected at random contains between 838 and 856 grams. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)

(c) Describe the distribution of x, the mean weight for a sample of 21 such jars of sauce.

1) skewed right

2) normal

3) skewed left

4) chi-square

(d) Find the mean of the x distribution. (Give your answer correct to the nearest whole number.) (ii) Find the standard error of the x distribution. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)

(e) Find the probability that a random sample of 21 jars has a mean weight between 838 and 856 grams. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
