Problem 1169

A potato chip manufacturer produces bags of potato chips that are supposed to have a net weight of 326 grams. Because the chips vary in size, it is difficult to fill the bags to the exact weight desired. However, the bags pass inspection so long as the standard deviation of their weights is no more than 4 grams. A quality control inspector wished to test the claim that one batch of bags has a standard deviation of more than 4 grams, and thus does not pass inspection. If a sample of 28 bags of potato chips is taken and the standard deviation is found to be 4.6 grams, does this evidence, at the 0.025 level of significance, support the claim that the bags should fail inspection? Assume that the weights of the bags of potato chips are normally distributed.
Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the bags should fail inspection.
We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the bags should fail inspection.

Yes No (c) Explain why μy\mu_{y} is not equal to 0+1+2+3+45=2.0\frac{0+1+2+3+4}{5}=2.0. This computation of the mean is incorrect because it does not take into account that the number of broken eggs are all equally likely. This computation of the mean is incorrect because the value in the denominator should equal the maximum yy value. This computation of the mean is incorrect because it does not take into account the number of partially broken eggs. This computation of the mean is incorrect because it includes zero in the numerator which should not be taken into account when calculating the mean. This computation of the mean is incorrect because it does not take into account the probabilities with which the number of broken eggs need to be weighted.
