Question

Coffee beans are packaged in 60 kg cartons with an allowable error of

0.8%. What is the acceptable weight range for a carton of coffee beans?

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

60 to 61.5kg

Explanation:

Given data

mass of carton= 60kg

Allowable error of 0.8%

The acceptable weight in percent is

100-0.8= 99.2%

Hence they will accept between

99.2% and 100%

in weight we have

=99.2/100*62

=0.992*62

=61.5kg

The range is between 60 to 61.5kg
