The ABC Inc. reports that the monthly demand for its favorable product is normally distributed with a mean of 700 units and standard deviation of 200 units. Based on this report, (a) What is the probability that demand will exceed 900 units in a given month? (b) What is the probability that monthly demand will be between 848 and 998 units? (c) What is the probability that monthly demand would be less than 400 units?

The monthly demand for a product is normally distributed, with a mean of 700 units and a standard deviation of 200 units. What is the probability that demand will be greater than 900 units in a given month?

Demand for a product of Washington Industries varies greatly from month to month. The probability distribution is given in the table below. Unit demand | Probability 200 | 0.25 400 | 0.35 500 | 0.3 800 | 0.1 Determine the mean and standard deviation for the monthly demand. Determine the probability that the monthly demand in each of the two upcoming months exceeds 400 units. You may assume that the demand in any month is independent of demand in other months.

Cereal A company's single-serving cereal boxes advertise 9.63 ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal $X$ in a randomly selected box follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 9.70 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.03 ounces. (a) Let $Y=$ the excess amount of cereal beyond what's advertised in a randomly selected box, measured in grams $(1 \text { ounce }=28.35 \text { grams). Find the }$ mean and standard deviation of $Y .$ (b) Find the probability of getting at least 3 grams more cereal than advertised.
