40.13% probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random normally distributed variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 16, \sigma = 0.3, n = 9, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{9}} = 0.1$

What is the probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16.025. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{16.025 - 16}{0.1}$

Z = 0.25

Z = 0.25 has a pvalue of 0.5987

1 - 0.5987 = 0.4013

40.13% probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces
