The number of chocolate chips in an 18-ounce bag of Chips Ahoy! Chocolate cookies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1262 chips and a standard deviation of 118 chips according to a study by the U.S. Air Force Academy. If a production manager takes a sample of 36 bags of cookies, then for this sample size, describe the sampling distribution of x ¯ . i. Center: μ x ¯ = ii. Spread: σ x ¯ = (round to 2 decimal places) iii. What is the probability that a simple random sample of 36 bags results in a sample mean of at least 1275 chocolate chips? (round to 3 decimal places) iv. Interpret the probability from above “If 1000 samples of size 36 bags were obtained from this population, we would expect sample(s) to have a sample mean of at least 1275.” (round to the nearest whole number)
