QUESTION 1 : Fertilizer is sold in bags. Weights of fertilizer in bags are normally distributed. The actual mean weight of a bag is found to be 20 kg. 27 bags were randomly selected, piled on a pallet and weighted. Those 27 bags had a mean of 20.87 kg and a standard deviation of 0.34251 kg. If the variance of weight is less than 0.1225 no adjustment is made. Otherwise, the machine is adjusted. Calculate a 99% confidence interval on...
