A hint to get started

Define a random sample and use shifted totals

A production manager wants a random quality-control sample of one type of chocolate bar from the thousands produced at a factory in one day. For 70 sampled bars, mass xx grams satisfies ∑(x−95)=287\sum(x-95)=287 and ∑(x−95)2=1928\sum(x-95)^2=1928.

(i) State what random sampling means in this context. mark

(ii) Calculate unbiased population mean and variance estimates. marks
