The amount of corn chips dispensed into a 10-ounce bag by the dispensing machine has been identified aspossessing a normal distribution with a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.1 ounce. Suppose400 bags of chips were randomly selected from this dispensing machine. Find the probability that the sample mean weight of these 400 bags exceeded 10.6 ounces.

The probability that the sample mean weight of these 400 bags exceeded 10.6 ounces is P(Xs>10.6)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take samples of size n=400, we have the folllowing parameters for the sampling distribution for the sample means:

We can calculate the probability that the sample mean weight of these 400 bags exceeded 10.6 ounces calculating the z-score for Xs=10.6 and then its probability P(Xx>10.6), using the standard normal distribution:

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
