The candy produced by a company has a sugar level that is normally distributed with a mean of 16.8 grams and a standard deviation of 0.9 grams. The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 17.3, 14.9, 18.8, 16.5, 16.1, 17.4, 19.4. Is the process in control or out of control and why?

The chocolate chip cookies that are produced at Perry’s Cookie Emporium have weights which are approximately normally distributed with the mean weight 180 grams and with standard deviations 20 grams. The cookies, however, are sold by count, not by weight. Perry wants to improve his image, so he decides to set aside lightest 20% of the cookies to be packaged and sold separately. What cookie weight will divide the lightest 20% from the heaviest 80%?
Assume that the time a student stays in school is normally distributed with a mean of 5 hours and a standard deviation of 0.5 hours. Every day, Ian stays in school for 5.5 hours. What proportion of student stays less than 5.5 hours?
A community college Math instructor feels that the average age of community college students decreased since they started teaching 25 years ago. Looking up data from the year the instructor started teaching, the mean age of community college students was 24.3 years old, with a population standard deviation of 2.2 years. The Math instructor took a sample of 40 of their current community college students and found that the sample had a mean age of 23.7 years old. Assume the population of ages of community college students is normally distributed and that the population standard deviation has remained the same. Test at the 5% significance level if the mean age of community college students is now less than 24.3 years old. The question is attached.
