**Learning Log 19**

We want to estimate the number of pounds of ground beef produced during a month. The firm processes 25,000 cows every year in this plant, and samples 500 cows for this investigation. This sample produced \( \bar{x} = 290 \) lbs ground of beef per cow with a sample standard deviation of \( s = 40 \) lbs. The plant is paid \$0.75/lb for the beef.

a) Find a 90% confidence interval for ground beef.

b) The plant manager bragged about the productivity of his workers and gave them a bonus because he says they slaughtered 2,500 cows and made \$560,000 for the plant this month. Should the board of directors investigate? Why or why not?
