Jumbo Shrimp are those that require 10-15 shrimp to make a pound. Suppose that the number of jumbo shrimp in a 1-pound bag has a mean of m=12.5 and standard deviation of s=2.5 and forms a normal distribution. What is the probability of randomly picking a sample of n=25 1-pound bags that have an average of less than M=12 shrimp per bag? What changes if you sample n=100 bags? How could you, a buyer of a giant truckload of jumbo shrimp, use something like a or b to figure out if you are being cheated?
