Why is the davson Danielli model wrong?
Pls help me with the given question and explain your correct answer, thank you
A group of absent-minded scientists has two numbers (25.4 and 2.54) written on a scrap of paper. One scientists says: “I remember that one of these values was the standard deviation and the other the standard error of the mean, but I can’t remember which is which”.
a)Which number is the standard deviation, and which is the standard error of the mean?
b)What was the sample size?
SE= s/√(2√n)
A packing plant fills bags with cement. The weight X kg of a bag of
cement can be modelled by a Normal distribution with mean 50 kg
and standard deviation of 2kg.
a) If a bag is selected is at random, find the probability that the
weight of the bag is greater than 55 kg.
b) If three bags are selected at random, find the probability that
2 bags weigh more than 55 kg.
c) Compute the probability in part a using RStudio.
