A random sample of 10 miniature Tootsie Rolls was taken from a bag. Each piece was weighted on a very accurate scale: The results in grams were:
3.087 3.131 3.241 3.241 3.70 3.353 3.400 3.411 3.437 3.477
a) Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the true mean weight.
b) What sample size would be necessary to estimate the true weight with an error of +/- 0.03 grams with 90 percent confidence?
c) Discuss the factors which might cause variation oin the weight of Tooside Rools during Manufacture.
