### Coffee Consumption Study

The amount of coffee that people drink per day is normally distributed with a mean of 16 ounces and a standard deviation of 5 ounces. Thirty-five randomly selected people are surveyed. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

#### Questions:

a. **What is the distribution of \( X \)?**  
   \( X \sim N(16, 5) \)

b. **What is the distribution of \(\bar{X}\)?**  
   \(\bar{X} \sim N\left(16, \frac{5}{\sqrt{35}}\right)\)

c. **What is the probability that one randomly selected person drinks between 15.9 and 16.1 ounces of coffee per day?**  
   [Calculation needed]

d. **For the 35 people, find the probability that the average coffee consumption is between 15.9 and 16.1 ounces of coffee per day.**  
   [Calculation needed]

e. **For part d, is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary?**  
   \(\bigcirc\) No  \(\bigcirc\) Yes

f. **Find the IQR for the average of 35 coffee drinkers.**  
   - \( Q1 = \) [Calculation needed] ounces  
   - \( Q3 = \) [Calculation needed] ounces  
   - IQR: [Calculation needed] ounces

#### Hint:
**Some Helpful Videos:**

- Finding the Sampling Distribution \[\]

**Explanation for Graphs/Diagrams:**
