The acceptable level for insect filth in a certain food item is 4 insect fragments (larvae, eggs, body parts, and so on) per 10 grams. A simple random sample of 60 ten-gram portions of the food item is obtained and results in a sample mean of x overbarequals4.7 insect fragments per ten-gram portion. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Why is the sampling distribution of x overbar approximately normal? A. The sampling distribution of x overbar is approximately normal because the population is normally distributed. B. The sampling distribution of x overbar is approximately normal because the sample size is large enough. C. The sampling distribution of x overbar is assumed to be approximately normal. D. The sampling distribution of x overbar is approximately normal because the population is normally distributed and the sample size is large enough. (b) What is the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x overbar assuming mu equals 4 and sigmaequalsStartRoot 4 EndRoot? mu Subscript x overbarequals nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) sigma Subscript x overbarequals nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) What is the probability a simple random sample of 60 ten-gram portions of the food item results in a mean of at least 4.7 insect fragments? P(x overbargreater than or equals4.7)equals nothing (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(2.71, TRUE)" to find the probability.
