long perodof time ,it was found that the mean weight of the packets
was 1.24kg and the standard deviation was 0.04kg. a particular machine

 Mean weight of the packets = 1.24 kg
 Standard Deviation, SD = 0.04kg
 Variance = 0.04^2 = 0.0016
 Standard Error, SE = 0.04/sqrt (25) • = 0.04/5 = 0.008

 Considering 99.7% confidence level the means will lie between (1.2+3SE) and (1.2-3SE)
 Upper limit is 1.224kg
 Lower Limit is 1.176kg
