The mean weight of a fire ant worker is 3.11 mg with a standard deviation of 0.49 mg. Let us assume that the weight of any fire ant is independent from the weight of any other fire ant. A typical fire ant colony contains 240,000 fire ant workers. Suppose we look at the weight of each ant in a typical fire ant colony. Let M be the random variable representing the mean weight of all the worker ants in the colony in mg. Let T = the random variable representing the sum of the weights of all the worker ants in the colony in mg.
