Question

Frito Lay did a study on the weights of their bags of corn chips. It was found that the weight is normally distributed with a mean of 22 oz. and standard deviation of 0.90 oz. If a sample of 35 bags are randomly selected, find the probability that their sample mean is less than 21.5 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.
