Suppose components are sorted into many bins, such that the mean weight of the component bins is 5 pounds (lb) with a standard deviation of 0.3 lbs. A certain buyer always measures weight in ounces (oz), so the conversion 1 lb = 16 oz must be made. Also, before shipment, assume that exactly 1 pound of product is added to each bin. What will happen to mean and standard deviation of the weight of the bins in ounces?
