.    A package of Chips Ahoy Cereal is marked “Net Wt. 12 oz.” The actual weight is normally distributed

       with a mean of 12 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.2 oz. In each of the following, provide sketches

      of the normal distribution curve with appropriate labels and formulas used.

a.     What percent of boxes would be expected to weigh more than 11.75 oz.?                          

b.   In a sample of 2,000 packages, how many would be expected to weigh more than 12.3 oz.?                                                                                                                                                  

c.    What is the probability that a random package would weigh between 11.8 and 12.1 oz.?

Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 ounces. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are normally distributed with mean μ. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 14, Ha: μ < 14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of...
