Question 1176962: The mass of a 2 kg box of chocolates was checked by finding the masses of 150 boxes. The results are shown in the table.
Mass | Frequency
1.97 | 8
1.98 | 15
1.99 | 19
2.00 | 35
2.01 | 33
2.02 | 22
2.03 | 14
2.04 | 4
Calculate a)the mean and population standard deviation.
b) the company has decided that a sample that is within 2 standard deviations of the mean would be acceptable. A random sample was taken and the mass was 1.97kg, Would this be an acceptable sample?

```python?code_reference&code_event_index=2
from sympy import Symbol, Sum, sqrt
from sympy.stats import variance
# Define the masses and frequencies
masses =
frequencies = [8, 15, 19, 35, 33, 22, 14, 4]
# Calculate the mean
mean = sum([m * f for m, f in zip(masses, frequencies)]) / sum(frequencies)
# Define the symbol for the variance calculation
i = Symbol('i')
# Calculate the variance using the Symbol and Sum functions
variance_val = variance(Sum(frequencies[i] * (masses[i] - mean)**2, (i, 0, len(masses) - 1)) / sum(frequencies))
# Calculate the standard deviation
std_dev = sqrt(variance_val)
# Calculate the lower and upper bounds for acceptable samples
lower_bound = mean - 2 * std_dev
upper_bound = mean + 2 * std_dev
# Check if a sample of 1.97 kg is acceptable
sample_mass = 1.97
is_acceptable = lower_bound <= sample_mass <= upper_bound
# Output the results
print(f"Mean: {mean:.4f}")
print(f"Standard Deviation: {std_dev:.4f}")
print(f"Acceptable Range: [{lower_bound:.4f}, {upper_bound:.4f}]")
print(f"Is a sample of {sample_mass} kg acceptable? {is_acceptable}")
```
