A manufacturing process produces bags of cookies. The distribution of content weights of these bags is Normal with mean 15.0 oz and standard deviation 1.0 oz. We will randomly select n bags of cookies and weigh the contents of each bag selected. Which of the following statements is true with respect to the sampling distribution of the sample mean, ¯xx¯? According to the law of large numbers, if the sample size, n, increases, ¯xx¯ will tend to be closer to...
Let us assume that the weights of bags of dog food are normally distributed with a mean of 50 lb and a standard deviation of 2.5 lb. (a) Describe the shape and horizontal scaling on the graph of the distribution for the population of all weights of bags of fertilizer. (b) Find the probability that the weight from a single randomly selected bag will be less than 46 lbs. Based upon your results, would it be unusual to find an...
normally distributed) with a mean of 32 ounces and a standard deviation 1. The weights of bags of of 0.36 ounce. Bags in the upper 4.5% are too heavy and must be repackaged, what is the most a bag of baby carrots can weigh and not need to be repackaged? -5 points 2. Som e college students use credit cards to pay for school-related expenses. For this population, the amount paid is normally distributed, with a mean of $1615 and...
The weights of bags of baby carrots are normally distributed, with a mean of 32 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.36 ounce. A) Sketch the distribution of weights and label the mean, µ, and label two standard deviations in both directions on the sketch. B) Bags that weigh more than 32.6 oz are considered too heavy and must be repackaged. What percentage of bags of baby carrots will need to be repackaged? (1) Draw a new picture and shade...
1. A process that produces bottles of shampoo, when operating correctly, produces bottles whose contents weigh on average 20 ounces. A random sample of nine bottles from a single production run yielded the following content weights (in ounces):21.4 19.7 19.7 20.6 20.8 20.1 19.7 20.3 20.9Assuming that the population distribution is normal, test at the 5% level that the process is operating correctly, i.e., the mean is 20 ounces.
The amount of corn chips dispensed into a 13-ounce bag by the dispensing machine has been identified as possessing a normal distribution with a mean of 13.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. Suppose 40 bags of chips were randomly selected from this dispensing machine. Find the probability that the sample mean weight of these 40 bags exceeded 13.6 ounces.
Consider an imperfect process that produces flour bags that follows a normal distribution, with a standard deviation of 0.8 pounds. You have been tasked with designing the process to minimize your total cost (fixing cost and filling cost). Assume that you produce 250,000 bags per year, and the cost of fixing a bag weighing more than the USL is $0.10 and the cost of fixing a bag weighing less than the LSL is $0.50. The cost of the flour is...
A sample of 14 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is normal. The weight of each bag was then recorded. The mean weight was 3 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.15 ounces. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.1 ounce. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that...
Students investigating the packaging of potato chips purchased 0 bags of chips marked with a net weight of 20.5 grame. They carefully weighed the contents of each bag, recording the following weights in gramas: 20.2.2.1, 29.1, 288, 28.8. Click the boon to wow the table Do the data willy the sumptions for interence? Is the randomization condition satufet? OA Yes, there is definitely evidence to believe that the bags of chips were sampled at random O No, the bags were...
If a histogram is constructed from the following frequency distribution, how many classes will (1 point) it have? Age Frequency 20 23 30 54 40 75 50 32 60 54 70 67 80 87 80 10 o 20 9.
