7.3 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use the following information to answer the next 10 exercises: A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely, so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.

Find the probability that the mean actual weight for the 100 weights is greater than 25.2.
