11 A factory producing popcorn claims that the mean mass of a pack of popcorn is 300 grams.
A random sample of 60 packs of popcorns is weighed and the mass, x grams, of each pack
is recorded. The results are summarised by

The factory produces a new variety of popcorn. The mass of cheese popcorn is known to
have a normal distribution with standard deviation 15 g. A random sample of 18 packs of
cheese popcorn has mean mass m g. A test, at 10% significance level, shows that there is
sufficient evidence to suggest that the population mean mass of cheese popcorn is less than
350 g. Find the range of possible values of m, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal
places. [4]
