The average weight of a medium size egg is found to be 3.2 oz, with a standard deviation of 0.13 oz. What is the heaviest egg (to 2 decimal places) that we are 95% confident is still medium size?

1 answer

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability (±.025) and its Z score.

95% = mean ± Z (SD)

Consider only positive value.
