Question

A potato sorting machine produces 5 lb bags of potatoes on average, but the standard deviation is lb.

Assuming that the weight of the bags is normally distributed, explain how you would find the weight range that 95% of the bags fall within.

Answer 1

$\sf\small\underline\red{Answer:-}$

The deviation will by 1.96 × 0.5 lbs = 0.98 lbs.

Therefore, the confidence interval will be (5 - 0.98, 5 + 0.98), which is (4.02, 5.98). The weight range is from 4.02 lbs to 5.98 lbs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The deviation will by 1.96 × 0.5 lbs = 0.98 lbs.

Therefore, the confidence interval will be (5 - 0.98, 5 + 0.98), which is (4.02, 5.98). The weight range is from 4.02 lbs to 5.98 lbs.
