Trader Joe’s is a privately held chain of specialty grocery stores in the United States. Starting out as a small chair of convenience stores, it has expanded to over 340 stores as of June 2010 (http://Tradejoe.com). It has developed a reputation as a unique grocery store selling products such as gourmet foods, beer and wine, bread, nuts, cereal, and coffee. On of their best-selling nuts is Raw California Almonds, which are prices at $4.49 for 16 ounces. Since it is impossible to pack exactly 16 ounces in each packet, a researcher has determined that the weight of almonds in each packet is normally distributed with a mean of 16.01 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.08 ounces. True or False: The sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal based on any given sample size.
