A bulk food store sells 25-pound bags of potatoes. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely, so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 bags is taken. What is the probability that the mean actual weight for the 100 bags of potatoes is less than 24.9?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

For uniform distribution, CDF = [tex]\frac{x-a}{b -a}[/tex]

a is the minimum while b is maximum

F(24.9) = [tex]\frac{24.9 - 24}{26 -24} = 0.9/2 = 0.45[/tex]
