Set 4

The manager monitors warehouse shipments tracked by an automated system. A daily sample of 25 packages is weighed, with individual packages normally distributed around a mean of 22 lbs and standard deviation of 5 lbs. According to the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution of the average will be normal since the sample size exceeds 30. The standard error of the daily average is 1, calculated as the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is True/False.

If false,
explain why.

The manager of a warehouse monitors the volume of shipments made by the delivery
team. The automated tracking system tracks every package as it moves through the
facility. A sample of 25 packages is selected and weighed every day. Based on
current contracts with customers, the weights should have μ = 22 lbs. and σ = 5
lbs.

(i) Before using a normal model for the sampling distribution of the average
package weights, the manager must confirm that weights of individual packages are
normally distributed.

TRUE. In this case, at least 30 sample packages must be selected and weighed
everyday. Based on the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution of the
sample mean approach normal distribution as the sample size become bigger (over
30).

(ii) The standard error of the daily average SE( ) = 1.

TRUE. Standard error equal to standard deviation divided by square root of sample
size = 5/sqrt(25) =1
