1. Food Consumption at Dinner: Consider a population with mean consumption at dinner 160 gms. and standard deviation of 40 gms. Nothing is known regarding the distribution of consumption. (a) Minimum what percentage of this population consume less than 200 gms. at dinner? (b) You are inviting k persons from this population for dinner. You want probability of shortage of food to be at most ps. Determine the minimum in multiple of 100 gms.) amount of food to be served in each of the following cases. i. k = 1, ps = 10%, ii. k=16 (16 is a small number), P = 5%, and, iii. k = 400 (400 is a large number), Ps = 2%.
