5 In a random sample of 12 bags of flour, the weight, in grams, of flour in each bag was recorded as follows.
\(\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l l l } 1011 & 995 & 1018 & 1022 & 1014 & 1005 & 1017 & 1015 & 993 & 1018 & 992 & 1020 \end{array}\)
- It may be assumed that the weight of flour in a bag is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 10.5 grams.
- Construct a \(98 \%\) confidence interval for the mean weight, \(\mu\) grams, of flour in a bag, giving the limits to four significant figures.
- State why, in constructing your confidence interval, use of the Central Limit Theorem was not necessary.
- If the distribution of the weight of flour in a bag was unknown, indicate a minimum number of weights that you would consider necessary for a confidence interval for \(\mu\) to be valid.
- The statement ' 1 kg ' is printed on each bag.
Comment on this statement using both the confidence interval that you constructed in part (a)(i) and the weights of the given sample of 12 bags.
- Given that \(\mu = 1000\), state the probability that a \(98 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) will not contain 1000.
