9. A potato chip manufacturer claims that the weights of its potato chips are normally distributed with a mean of 10 ounces per bag. The Department of Consumer Protection takes a random sample of 23 bags of potato chips from a shipment to test whether or not they really weigh 10 ounces. If the sample has mean weight of 9.85 ounces and standard deviation of 0.3 ounce, can you conclude that a bag of potato chips does not weigh 10...
The number of chocolate chips in an 18-ounce bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with mean 1252 and standard deviation 129 chips. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1000 and 1500 chocolate chips? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1000 chocolate chips? (c) What proportion of bags contains more than 1225 chocolate chips? (a) The probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1000 and 1500 chocolate chips...
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...

The weights of ice cream cartons are normally distributed with a mean weight of 11 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 11.17 ounces? (b) A sample of 16 cartons is randomly selected. What is the probability that their mean weight is greater than 11.17 ounces?
The number of chocolate chips in an 18-ounce bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1252 chips and standard deviation 129 chips. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1100 and 1400 chocolate chips, inclusive? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1125 chocolate chips? (c) What proportion of bags contains more than 1175 chocolate chips? (d) What is the percentile rank of...
The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8604 g and a standard deviation of 0.052 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 459 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 391.99. (If every package has 459 candies, the moon weight of the candies 391.9 must exceed 250 =0.8539 g for the net contents to weigh at least 391.99.) a. If 1 candy is...
