Sacks of potatotes are packed by an automatic loader with mean weight 114 lb. in a test it
was found that 10% bags were over 116 lb. use this to find the SD of the process. If the
machine is now adjusted to a mean weight of 113 lb, what percent are now over 116lb, if
SD remains unaltered?
13) In a soap making process it was found that 6.23
% of bars produced weighed less than 90.50
g and 4% weighed more than 100.25 g
a. Find the mean and the S.D. of the process.
b. What percent of the bars would you expect to weigh less than 88g?
14) A light bulb manufacturer finds that 5% of his bulbs last more than 500 hours. An
improvement in the process meant that the mean lifetime was increased by 50 hours. In a
new test, 20% of bulbs now lasted longer than 500 hours. Find the mean and standard
deviation of the original process.
