A local company makes snack-size bags of potato chips. The
company produces batches of 400 snack-size bags using a process
designed to fill each bag with an average of 2 ounces of potato
chips. However, due to imperfect technology, the actual amount
placed in a given bag varies. Assume the population of filling
weights is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.1
ounce. The company periodically weighs samples of 10 bags to ensure
the proper filling process. The last...

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...
