Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.6 and standard deviation 0.78.

(a) If a random sample of 25 specimens is selected, what is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00? Between 2.6 and 3.00? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) at most 3.00 between 2.6 and 3.00

(b) How large a sample size would be required to ensure that the probability in part (a) is at least 0.99? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) specimens

Suppose the following data are selected randomly from a population of normally distributed values. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average weekly earnings of a production worker in July 2011 were $657.49. Suppose a labor researcher wants to test to determine whether this figure is still accurate today. The researcher randomly selects 56 production workers from across the United States and obtains a representative earnings statement for one week from each. The resulting sample average is $670.76....
