Question

You work as a quality control engineer for Hershey Candy Bars. Each Hershey candy bar with

almonds is supposed to have 8 California almonds. 10,000 bars are made in an hour. You
want a sample of 500 bars to check for weight and number of almonds. What is your sample
interval (k)?
500
b 10,000
c 20
d0.20

Answer 1

The sample interval to check for weight and number of almonds is 20.

Therefore, the correct answer is: option c) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample interval (k) can be calculated by dividing the population size (N) by the sample size (n).

In this case, N is the total number of bars made in an hour, which is 10,000, and n is the desired sample size, which is 500.

Therefore, the formula to calculate the sample interval is:

k = N / n

Plugging in the values, we get:

k = 10,000 / 500

= 20

So, the sample interval (k) is 20.
