4.A potato chip company produces the same number of snack-sized bags of potato chips
every month. A manager at the company randomly selects a sample of snack-sized bags of
potato chips to be weighed in a routine quality-assurance check each month. The January

produced by the company in February each had a weight of at least 0.98 ounces.

B) The mean weight of all the snack-sized bags of potato chips produced by the company in
January must have been 0.03 ounces more than the mean weight of all the snack-sized
bags of potato chips produced by the company in February.

C) The mean weight of all the snack-sized bags of potato chips produced by the company in
January was 0.03 ounces less than the mean weight of all the snack-sized bags of potato
