Packages of sugar bags for Sweeter Sugar Inc. have an average weight of 18 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. The weights of the sugar packages are normally distributed. What is the probability that a sample of 16 randomly selected packages will not have a mean weight within 0.075 ounces of the population mean? Use Excel or JMP to find probabilities and values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to four decimals. Use number format 0.0000 Do not use probability tables to find probabilities.

Packages of sugar bags for Sweeter Sugar Inc. have an average weight of 16 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. The weights of the sugar packages are normally distributed. Suppose we sample 16 sugar bags. What is the probability that 16 randomly selected packages will have a weight less than 15.7 ounces?

The actual weight of a five-pound bag of sugar is normally distributed with a mean μ = 5 lb and standard deviation σ = 0.27 lb. Find the following probabilities, rounding your answers to four decimal places. The probability that the bag contains no more than 4.70 lb: The probability that the bag contains between 4.80 and 5.20 lb: The probability that the bag contains no less than 5.31 lb:

Sugar is packaged in 16-ounce bags. To test the weight of the bags, a few were checked. The mean weight was 15.95 ounces and the standard deviation was 0.5 ounces. How many bags must the processor sample to be 99% confident that the sample mean does not differ from the population mean by more than 0.2 ounces?
