z = (xbar - mu)/(SD/sqrt(n))
z for 3rd percentile = -2.78
mu = 595
SD = 29
n = 16
so
-2.78 = (xbar - 595)/(29/sqrt(16))
solve for xbar

asked 03/29/21A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 595 grams and a standard deviation of 29 grams.
If you pick 16 fruits at random, then 3% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams?
