Suppose that 95% of the bags of certain fertilizer mix weigh between 49 and 53 pounds. Averages of three succesive bags were plotted, and 47.5% of these were observed to lie between 51 and X pounds. Estimate the value of X. State assumptions you make and say whether these assumptions are likely to be true for this example.
