The weight of potato chips in a medium-size bag is stated to be 10 ounces. The amount that the packaging machine puts in these bags is believed to have a normal model with a mean of 10.2 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.14 ounces.
a) What fraction of all bags sold are underweight?
b) Some of the chips are sold in "bargain packs" of 5 bags. What's the probability that none of the 5 is underweight?
c) What's the probability that the mean weight of the 5 bags is below the stated amount?
d) What's the probability that the mean weight of a 24-bag case of potato chips is below 10 ounces?

Question #11: A manufacturer makes bags of popcorn and bags of
potato chips. The average weight of a bag of popcorn is supposed to
be 3.06 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.03 ounces. The
average weight of a bag of potato chips is supposed to be 5.08

Packaged foods sold at supermarkets are not always the weight
indicated on the package. Variability always crops up in the
manufacturing and packaging process. Suppose that the exact weight
of a "10-ounce" bag of potato chips is a random variable that has
an approximately normal distribution with mean u=10 ounces and
standard deviation σ=0.75 ounce. If 2000 "10-ounce" bags of
potato chips are chosen at random, estimate the number of bags
with the following weights.
(a)
8.58ounces or less
(b)...

Bags of a certain brand of potato chips say that the net weight
of the contents is 35.6 grams. Assume that the standard deviation
of the individual bag weights is 5.2 grams. A quality control
engineer selects a random sample of 35 bags. The mean weight of
these 35 bags turns out to be 33.6 grams. If the mean and standard
deviation of individual bags is reported correctly, what is the
probability that a random sample of 35 bags has...
