Answer:
- The center line is at 16.5 ounces.
- The standard deviation of the sample mean = 0.112 ounce.
- The UCL = 16.836 ounces.
- The LCL = 16.154 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central limit theorem allows us to write for a random sample extracted from a normal population distribution with each variable independent of one another that
Mean of sampling distribution (μₓ) is approximately equal to the population mean (μ).
μₓ = μ = 16.5 ounces
And the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is given as
σₓ = (σ/√N)
where σ = population standard deviation = 0.25 ounce
N = Sample size = 5
σₓ = (0.25/√5) = 0.1118033989 = 0.112 ounce
Now using the 3 sigma limit rule that 99.5% of the distribution lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean, the entire distribution lies within
(μₓ ± 3σₓ)
= 16.5 ± (3×0.112)
= 16.5 ± (0.336)
= (16.154, 16.836)
Hope this Helps!!!
