Candy Bar Weights
Suppose that the wrapper of a candy bar lists its weight as 8 ounces. The actual weights of individual candy bars naturally vary to some extent, however. Suppose that these actual weights vary according to a normal distribution with mean μ = 8.3 ounces and standard deviation σ = 0.125 ounces.
(a) What proportion of the candy bars weigh less than the advertised 8 ounces?
(b) What proportion of the candy bars weigh more than 8.5 ounces?
(c) What is the weight such that only 1 candy bar in 1000 weighs less than that amount?
(d) If the manufacturer wants to adjust the production process so that only 1 candy bar in 1000 weighs less than the advertised weight, what should the mean of the actual weights be (assuming that the standard deviation of the weights remains .125 ounces)?
(e) If the manufacturer wants to adjust the production process so that the mean remains at 8.3 ounces but only 1 candy bar in 1000 weighs less than the advertised weight, how small does the standard deviation of the weights need to be?
