Question
A fertilizer manufacture buys a certain raw material by weight. Each batch of raw material purchased is weighed, and the weight is recorded to the nearest pound. It is assumed that the round-off error is uniformly distributed in the interval from –0.6 to +0.6. Using the information above, compute the variance?
Select one:
a. 0.6447
b. 0.4157
c. 0.12
