Suppose that the content, in milligrams, of vitamin C in a medium orange can be modeled by a normal distribution with a mean of 59 mgs of vitamin C and standard deviation of 5mcg What is probability that for a medium orange the content of vitamin C is between 50 and 65mcg

Step 1
There are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. So, the standard deviation is 5 mcg / 1000 = 0.005 mg. Show more…

The distribution of vitamin C amount in vitamin drops produced by a given factory is approximately normal, with a mean of 60.0 mg and a standard deviation of 0.5 mg. Reference: Ref 13-10. If you take a random sample of 25 vitamin drops, what is approximately the probability that the average vitamin content is between 60.25 and 60.75 mg? 0.01 0.16 0.24 0.38

A machine producing vitamin E capsules operates so that the actual amount of vitamin E in each capsule is normally distributed with a mean of 5 mg and a standard deviation of 0.1 mg. (You may need to use a table or technology. Round your answers to four decimal places.) What is the probability that a randomly selected capsule contains less than 4.8 mg of vitamin E? What is the probability that a randomly selected capsule contains at least 5.5 mg of vitamin E?

An orange juice producer buys oranges from a large orange grove that has one variety of orange. The amount of juice squeezed from these oranges is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.70 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.40 ounce. Suppose that you select a sample of 25 oranges. What is the probability that the sample mean amount of juice will be at least 4.60 ounces?
