Using the Central Limit Theorem · Exercise 7
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.
(a) What is the distribution for the sum of the weights of 100 25-pound lifting weights?
(b) Find P(Σx < 2,450).
