A grocery store keeps records of deliveries they receive from suppliers. Their records for watermelons show: mean weight of watermelons is 17 pounds, with a standard deviation of 8 pounds. Assuming watermelon weights are normally distributed, does this make sense?
Explain why or why not
(Please give positive rating )
For assuming that our distribution is normal or not we should first find a z score and see that 68% of our data falls within1 standard deviation of the mean. As we find the probability of area between -1.64 to +1.64 is 68.8%. And the curve is showing the property of normal distribution.
So we can say assume that watermelon weights are
normally distributed.

The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.5 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years. He then randomly selects records on 29 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.2 years. a. Assuming that the laptop replacement times...
