A candy maker produces mints that have label weight of 20 grams on each box. Assume that the weight of a box of mints is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.4 grams.

(a) Determine the sampling distribution of sample mean weight for a sample of dozen box of mints?

(b) Suppose you bought a dozen boxes of mints and found the average weight to be 19.7 grams. What is the probability that the sample mean of a dozen boxes of mints will weigh as low as 19.7 grams or lower? Would you consider this as evidence that the candy maker's claim is incorrect? Explain.
