Step 1 :The acceptable level for insect filth in a certain food item is 5 insect fragments per 10 grams. A simple random sample of 50 ten-gram portions of the food item is obtained and results in a sample mean of \(\bar{x}=5.8\) insect fragments per ten-gram portion.
Step 2 :We are asked to find the probability that a simple random sample of 50 ten-gram portions of the food item results in a mean of at least 5.8 insect fragments. The given probability is 0.0057.
Step 3 :\(P(\bar{x} \geq 5.8)=0.0057\) (Round to four decimal places as needed)
Step 4 :We are also asked to determine whether this result is unusual. In statistics, a result is considered unusual if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.
Step 5 :We compare the given probability (0.0057) with 0.05 to determine if the result is unusual or not.
Step 6 :Since 0.0057 is less than 0.05, we conclude that the result is unusual because its probability is small.
Step 7 :\(\boxed{\text{The correct answer is C. This result is unusual because its probability is small.}}\)
