Answer:
As probability of that happening is very small; Yes, 33.6 is less than 35.6 grams because it provide strong evidence that the mean weight of the bags is lower than the 35.6 grams listed on the package.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a normal distribution Z-score
[tex]Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Given that :
the mean ([tex]\mu[/tex]) = 35.6
standard deviation ([tex]\sigma[/tex]) = 5.2
sample size (n) = 35
standard error: [tex]\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_x = \frac{5.2}{\sqrt{35}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_x = 0.879[/tex]
The probability that a random sample of 35 bags has a mean weight of 33.6 grams or less is :
P(X<33.6) = P(Z < - 2.28)
= 0.0114
Conclusion:
As probability of the happening is very small; Yes, 33.6 is less than 35.6 grams because it provide strong evidence that the mean weight of the bags is lower than the 35.6 grams listed on the package.
