A manufacturer makes bags of popcorn and bags of potato chips.
The average weight of a bag of popcorn is supposed to be 3.053.05
ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.050.05 ounces. The average
weight of a bag of potato chips is supposed to be 5.085.08 ounces
with an allowable deviation of 0.020.02 ounces. A factory worker
randomly selects a bag of popcorn from the assembly line and it has
a weight of 3.043.04 ounces. Then the worker randomly selects a bag
of potato chips from the assembly line and it has a weight of
5.035.03 ounces. Which description closely matches the findings on
the assembly line?
