A restaurant states that its hamburgers contain 20\% fat. Paul claims that the mean fat content of their hamburgers is less than 20\%. Paul takes a random sample of 50 hamburgers from the restaurant and finds that they contain a mean fat content of 19.5\% with a standard deviation of 1.5\%
You may assume that the fat content of hamburgers is normally distributed.
- Find the 90\% confidence interval for the mean fat content of hamburgers from the restaurant.
(4)
- State, with a reason, what action Paul should recommend the restaurant takes over the stated fat content of their hamburgers.
(2)
The restaurant changes the mean fat content of their hamburgers to \(\mu\)\% and adjusts the standard deviation to 2\%. Paul takes a sample of size \(n\) from this new batch of hamburgers. He uses the sample mean \(\bar{X}\) as an estimator of \(\mu\).
- Find the minimum value of \(n\) such that \(\mathrm{P}(|\bar{X} - \mu| < 0.5) \geq 0.9\)
