Question

canning operation is designed to fill cans with 14.5 oz of ingredients, on average, with a standard deviation of 0.1 oz. Nine cans are selected at random from the process, and the weights of the nine cans averaged 14.52 oz with a standard deviation of 0.075 oz. The standard error of the sample mean is:

Answer 1

Answer:

SE = 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample mean; x¯ = 14.52

Sample standard deviation; s = 0.075

Sample size; n = 9

Now,formula for standard error of sample mean is;

SE = s/√n

SE = 0.075/√9

SE = 0.075/3

SE = 0.025
