A manufacturer makes bags of popcorn and bags of potato chips. The average weight of a bag of popcorn is supposed to be 3.05 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.02 ounces. The average weight of a bag of potato chips is supposed to be 5.05 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.04 ounces. A factory worker randomly selects a bag of popcorn from the assembly line and it has a weight of 3.02 ounces. Then the worker randomly selects a bag of potato chips from the assembly line and it has a weight of 5.01 ounces. Which description closely matches the findings on the assembly line?

The weight of potato chips in a small-size bag is stated to be 5 ounces. The amount that the packaging machine puts in these bags is believed to have a normal model with a mean of 5.1 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.07 ounces. a) What fraction of all bags sold are underweight? b) Some of the chips are sold in "bargain packs" of 3 bags. What's the probability that none of the 3 is underweight? c) What's the...

A machine dispenses potato chips into bags that are advertised as containing one pound of product. To be on the safe side, the machine is supposed to be calibrated to dispense 16.07 ounces per bag, and from long time observation, the distribution of the fill-weights is known to be approximately normal and the process is known to have a standard deviation of 0.15 ounces. If the machine is properly calibrated, what proportions of bags will be underweight?

2. The weight of potato chips in a medium-size bag is stated to be 10 ounces. The amount that the packaging machine puts in these bags is believed to have a Normal model with mean 10.2 ounces and standard deviation 0.12 ounces. Some of the chips are sold in “bargain packs” of 3 bags. What’s the probability that the mean weight of the 3 bags is below the stated amount? Please show all work. Please no handwritten work, just typed.

9. A potato chip manufacturer claims that the weights of its potato chips are normally distributed with a mean of 10 ounces per bag. The Department of Consumer Protection takes a random sample of 23 bags of potato chips from a shipment to test whether or not they really weigh 10 ounces. If the sample has mean weight of 9.85 ounces and standard deviation of 0.3 ounce, can you conclude that a bag of potato chips does not weigh 10...

Students investigating the packaging of potato chips purchased 6 bags of chips marked with a net weight of 29.4 grams. They carefully weighed the contents of each bag, recording the following weights (in grams): 29.2 , 28.4 , 29.3 , 28.6 , 28.7 , 28.7 . Find the mean and standard deviation of the weights.
