7. At the Go Nutty Peanut Company, dry roasted, shelled peanuts are placed in jars by a machine. The
distribution of weights in the glass jars is approximately Normal, with a mean of 17 ounces and a standard
deviation of 0.68 ounces (3 points)
a. What is the probability of randomly selecting 50 jars and finding the average contents to weigh less
than 16.8 ounces?

Respuesta :

The probability of selecting 50 jars is 0%

The z score determines by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} } \\\\where \mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation, x=raw\ score,n=sample\ size\\\\Given\ that\ \mu=17,\sigma=0.68,n=50,x=16.8\\\\z=\frac{16.8-17}{0.65/\sqrt{50} } =-5[/tex]

The P(z < -5) = 0%

Therefore the probability of selecting 50 jars is 0%
