A certain brand of candies have a mean weight of 0.8616g and a standard deviation of 0.0518 based on the sample of a package containing 447 candies. The package label stated that the net weight is 381.8g If every package has 447 candies the mean weight of the candies must exceed 381.8/447=0.8542 for the net contents to weight at least 381.8g.

a) if 1 candy is reandomly selected, find the probability that it weights more than 0.8542g. the probability is __

(round to four decimal places as needed)

b) If 447 candies are reandomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8542 g.

the probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is __

(round to four decimal places as needed)

c) given these results does it seem that the candy company is providing consumers with the amount claimed on the label?

NO/YES because the probability of getting a sample mean of 0.8542g or greater when 447 candies are selected IS NOT/IS exceptionally small
