Exam 5: Sampling Distributions

The weight of corn chips dispensed into a 10-ounce bag by the dispensing machine has been identified as possessing a normal distribution with a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of .2 ounce. Suppose 100 bags of chips are randomly selected. Find the probability that the mean weight of these 100 bags exceeds 10.45 ounces.

Question 44

The daily revenue at a university snack bar has been recorded for the past five years. Records indicate that the mean daily revenue is $1500 and the standard deviation is $500. The distribution is skewed to the right due to several high volume days (football game days). Suppose that 100 days are randomly selected and the average daily revenue computed. Which of the following describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
