A road bike frame is advertised to weigh no more than 900g. The actual frame weight distribution is normal with standard deviation of 20g. What should the mean weight be so that the advertisement claim is true for al least 99% of all frames?

Answer #1

Solution:-

Given that,

x = 900 g

standard deviation = = 20 g

Using standard normal table,

P(Z < z) = 99%

= P(Z < z ) = 0.99

= P(Z < 2.33 ) = 0.99  

z = 2.33

Using z-score formula,

x = z * +

900 = 2.33 * 20 +

= 900 - ( 2.33 * 20 )

= 853.4

    4. A yogurt cup is advertised as containing 6 oz of yogurt but the machine that fills the cups doesn't put exactly 6 oz of yogurt into each cup. The amount varies slightly. The amount of yogurt follows a normal distribution with a mean that can be set to any desired amount by adjusting the machine. The standard deviation of the amount of the yogurt is always 0.05 oz, regardless of the mean amount. If the company wants to be...

    A Brisbane warehouse buys pre-packed bulk bags of Bundaberg Sugar with an advertised mean weight of 20 kilograms. To determine the validity of the advertised claim, the warehouse manager took a random sample of fifty packets from the latest shipment received and found an average weight of the packets of 20.015 kilograms. Bundaberg Sugar know, from analysing data over many years, that their 20kg bulk bag packing process results in a standard deviation of 55 grams. 1. State the direction...
