The local bakery bakes more than a thousand 1-pound loaves of bread daily, and the weights of these loaves varies. The mean weight is 0.9 lb. and 1 oz., or 437 grams. Assume the standard deviation of the weights is 21 grams and a sample of 45 loaves is to be randomly selected. (e) What is the probability that the sample mean will have a value less than 433? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.) (f) What is the probability that the sample mean will be within 5 grams of the mean? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)

Question

The local bakery bakes more than a thousand 1-pound loaves of bread daily, and the weights of these loaves varies. The mean weight is 0.9 lb. and 1 oz., or 437 grams. Assume the standard deviation of the weights is 21 grams and a sample of 45 loaves is to be randomly selected.

(e) What is the probability that the sample mean will have a value less than 433? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)


(f) What is the probability that the sample mean will be within 5 grams of the mean? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)

Consider a population with the following.
u = 41 and o = 5.9
(a) Calculate the z-score for an x of 45.6 from a sample of size 29. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
