A bakery makes gourmet cookies. For a batch of 4800 oatmeal and raisin cookies, how many raisins should be used so that the probability of a cookie having no raisins is .01? [Note: A reasonable assumption is that the number of raisins in a random cookie has a Poisson distribution.]

If the individual distributions of raisins per snack-sized box are N(120,13), what is the probability that we take a random sample of 20 boxes and the average number of raisins for those 20 boxes is greater than 115?

"Chips Ahoy! 1,000 Chips Challenge"" Students in an introductory statistics course at the U.S. Air Force Academy participated in Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy! 1,000 Chips Challenge" by confirming that there were at least 1000 chips in every 18 -ounce bag of cookies that they examined. As part of their assignment, they concluded that the number of chips per bag is approximately normally distributed. Could the number of chips per bag be exactly normally distributed? Explain your answer. [SOURCE: B. Warner and J. Rutledge, "Checking the Chips Ahoy! Guarantee," Chance, Vol. $12(1), \text { pp. } 10-14]$
