suppose that a company claims that its boxes of breakfast cereal contain 16 ounces of cereal on average, with a standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. if you took a sample of 50 boxes of cereal, what would be the expected mean amount of cereal per box in the sample?

A18 ounces
B15 ounces
C17 ounces
D16 ounces

Verified Answer :

The term average is synonymous to the arithmetic mean. 

It is the derived value from the sum of a set of quantities divided by the number of quantities in a set.

Since the average is 16 ounces and it is equal to the mean, then, the mean is also D. 16 ounces
