Question 6 • Math 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

What statistical information could be useful to the production manager? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
the average amount of cashews per bag to determine average cost
B
the time of day each bag of trail mix leaves the factory
C
the amount of variation in ounces of cashews in the bags of trail mix
D
which factory produces the most consistent ounces of cashews in each bags of trail mix
E
the name of the general manager from each factory

Explanation

A production manager can use the average amount of cashews per bag to estimate the average cost, so A is useful. The variation in cashew amounts (C) and which factory is most consistent (D) are also useful for monitoring production quality. The time each bag leaves the factory and the general manager’s name do not describe the cashew amounts or production consistency.
