a)  Use Excel to find the six ? values above.

b)  Consider the three values of mean and the three values of standard deviation in a).  Verify (mathematically) that the Central Limit Theorem applies using the formulas:

µ = µxbar           and       sxbar = s / vn

Q2. Dunkin Donuts advertises that a dozen of their donuts weighs about 43 oz.  A certain baker has figured out that she can stay out of trouble with her manager if each donut weighs about 3.6 oz.  To test her donut-making process, she randomly selects thirty-one donuts after baking and weighs them.  The average of the sample is 3.504 oz with s = 0.109 oz.  Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean of donut weights, and then explain whether or not she will be in trouble.
