The town of KnowWearSpatial, U. S.A. operates a rubbish waste disposal facility that is overloaded if its 4611 households discard waste with weights having a mean that exceeds 26.84 lb/wk. For many different weeks, it is found that the samples of 4611 households have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 26.46 lb and a standard deviation of 12.35 lb. What is the probability that the disposal facility is overloaded in a randomly selected week?

The probability that the disposal facility is overloaded in a randomly selected week is P=0.017.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a mean that exceeds 26.84 lb will overload the rubbish waste disposal facility.

The distribution of the households discard weights is normally distributed, with mean 26.46 lb and a standard deviation of 12.35 lb.

We have to calculate the probability of the sample mean of 4611 household discards. We have to calculate the sampling distribution, that has the following parameters:

Then, we can calculate the probability that the house discards mean exceeds 26.84:

The probability that the disposal facility is overloaded in a randomly selected week is P=0.017.

i believe it's a.

i'm not sure on this one, most likely correct.
