The Following Comprehension and Related Subquestions are Purely Hypothetical A manufacturer produces lenses for sunglasses. In a given day, a total of 100 products were produced. Products produced usually can have scratches. The manufacturer is interested to see if the length of the scratches on produced lenses is normally distributed. Hence, based on the production of 100 lenses, he has identified the length of scratch on each lens and the grouped data is presented to you in Table-2. Further, from sample, the manufacturer has computed the standard deviation to be 1.00. Based on the production lot of 100 units (given sample), you are asked to check if the “Length of Scratches on produced lenses” follows a Normal Distribution. Given this information, answer the given subquestions.

You are in the process of selecting an ideal Laptop when a lot of options are available. For example, the three brands that have been on top of your mind are Acer, HP, and Dell. Similarly, there are 2 RAM options available: 8 GB and 16 GB. Lastly, the processor is another important variable in deciding the ideal laptop. There are 3 processors available: i3, i5, and i7. Also, assume that Acer is the least preferred brand. Based on the inputs available, you build a regression model, and the coefficients are given below in Figure 1.
