Question #145893

Suppose the mean amount of cholesterol in eggs labeled “large” is 186 milligrams, with standard deviation 7 milligrams. Find the probability that the mean amount of cholesterol in a sample of 144 eggs will be within 2 milligrams of the population mean.

Expert's answer

μ"\\overline{X}"=μ=186

σ"\\overline{X}"=σ/"\\sqrt{n}" =7/12=0.583

Z=(188−186)/0.583=3.43

P(184<"\\overline{X}"<188)=P(-Z<x<Z)=P(-3.43<x<3.43)=0.9994

Sugar is packed in 5-pound bags. An inspector suspects the bags may not contain 5 pounds. A sample of 50 bags produces a mean of 4.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.7 pound. Is there enough evidence to conclude that the bags do not contain 5 pounds as stated, at α = 0.05? Also, find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean.
