Question

Suppose that you have a large number of potatoes. The mean weight of the potatoes is 7.4 ounces with a standard deviation of 2.2 ounces. We may assume a normal distribution.

c) If you choose 40 potatoes at random, what is the probability that the mean of this sample of 40 potatoes is more than 7.5 ounces?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
