Answer :

Given:

Mean, μ = 119.54 oz

Standard deviation, σ = 0.62 oz

Sample size, n = 14

Part 2.

Let's find the probability that the mean weight is at most 119.18 oz.

Here, we are to find:

P(X ≤ 119.18)

Apply the formula:

[tex]P(X\leq\bar{x})=P(z\leq\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{E})[/tex]

Where:

x' = 119.18

μ = 119.54

E = 0.1657

Thus, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(X\leq119.18)=P(z\leq\frac{119.18-119.54}{0.1657}) \\ \\ P(X\leq119.18)=P(z\leq\frac{-0.36}{0.1657}) \\ \\ P(X\leq119.18)=P(z\leq−2.1726) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using the Standard Normal Distribution Table, we have:

NORMSDIST(−2.1726) = 0.0149

Therefore, the probability that the mean weight is at most 119.18 is 0.0149
