The mean weight of a fire ant worker is 3.11 mg with a standard deviation of .49 mg. Suppose we randomly select 14 different fire ant workers having weights F1, F2, O, F14. Let S = F1 + F2 + .+F14 and let M = S/14. This means S is the sample sum and M is the sample mean of the selected ant weights. (Note: random selection means F1 O F14 are independent.). Assume the Fios are normally distributed.
