The weight of apples in a farm is normally distributed, with a mean of 110 grams, and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Find the proportion of apples that weigh between 95 and 105 grams. A. 0.3413 B. 0.4706 C. 0.1293 D. 0.2108

Step 1
First, we need to standardize the weights by converting them to z-scores. The z-score formula is: $z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ where $x$ is the weight of the apple, $\mu$ is the mean weight, and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation. Show more…

'The mean weight of apples is 10 kg ad the standard deviation is 2.6 kg. Assuming that the weight is normally distributed; determine how many apples weigh (three decimal places): Between 6 kg and 14 kg: More than 14kg c Less than 7 kg'

The weights of cans of Monarch pears follow the normal distribution with a mean of 1,000 grams and a standard deviation of 50 grams. Calculate the percentage of the cans that weigh: a. Less than 860 grams. b. Between 1,055 and $1 ; 100$ grams. c. Between 860 and 1,055 grams.
