Question 5 of 5 The density of cheese produced in a factory is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1.8 g/cm3 and standard deviation of 0.3 g/cm3.What is the probability of obtaining a sample standard deviation greater than 0.5 g/cm3 for a sample of size 8? (chi2cdf(19.444,7)=0.9931) 0.9931 0.0069 0.6594 0.1239 0.0169

Many cheeses are produced in the shape of a wheel. Because of slight variations in the consistency of a cheese, the average weight varies from wheel to wheel. The production output is supposed to have an average weight of at least 500g per wheel and samples are taken to check this. One random sample of 16 wheels of Brie cheese had a mean weight of 515.5 grams with a standard deviation of 66.5 grams. The populations of the cheeses are known to have a normal distribution of weights. a) Find the point estimate of the mean weight of cheese wheel. b) Find and interpret the 90% confidence interval for the mean weight of cheese wheel. c) Use your answer in b) to determine if the sample shows that the production output does not have the correct average weight per wheel. d) To halve the margin of error for the sample above, what sample size would be required?

The distribution of actual weights of wedges of cheddar cheese produced at a dairy is normal with a mean of 9.1 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. (Round all answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.) (a) The probability that a randomly chosen wedge of cheddar cheese is greater than 9.03 is (b) If a sample of 18 is randomly chosen, then the distribution of the sample mean weight is approximately normal with a mean of and a standard deviation of (c) The probability that the sample mean weight of this sample of 18 is less than 9.03 is (d) The probability that the sample mean weight of this sample of 18 is greater than 9.03 is (e) The probability that the sample mean weight of this sample of 18 is between 9.03 and 9.18 is (f) There is only a 2% chance that the average weight of a sample of these 18 cheese wedges will be below

A certain cheese manufacturer makes "White Parrot 8 oz. wedges" of cheddar cheese. The nature of the manufacturing process is such that the actual weights of "White Parrot 8 oz. wedges" vary, specifically according to the Normal distribution with mean 8.1 ounces and standard deviation 0.1 ounces. A plan is made to select Simple Random Samples of 5 cheese wedges and calculate the sample mean x̄. The sampling distribution of x̄ is a) roughly Normal with mean 8.1 and standard deviation 0.045. b) 8 oz and 0.1 oz, and .1/2.24 c) perfectly Normal, but with an unknown mean. d) 8.1 and 0.1 and n = 5
