The quality control manager of Marilyn's Cookies is inspecting a batch of chocolate-chip cookies that has just been baked. If the production process is in control, the mean number of chip parts per cookie is 6.9. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected less than five chip parts will be found? The probability that any particular cookie has less than five chip parts is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected exactly five chip parts will be found? The probability that any particular cookie has exactly five chip parts is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected five or more chip parts will be found? The probability that any particular cookie has five or more chip parts is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

"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. $12(1), \text { pp. } 10-14]$
