The weight of cans of fruit is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 grams and a standard deviation of 50 grams. What percent of the cans weigh 860 grams or less?
Added by Phillip F.
Step 1
z = (860 - 1000) / 50 z = -140 / 50 z = -2.8 Show more…

The weights of cans of Monarch pears are normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 grams and a standard deviation of 50 grams. Calculate the percentage of the cans that weigh: (a) 860 grams or less (b) Between 1,055 and 1,100 grams. Draw the normal curve accurately.

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 799 grams and a standard deviation of 25 grams. If you pick 19 fruit at random, what is the probability that their mean weight will be between 802 grams and 804 grams?

A machine fills containers with a mean weight per container of 16.0 oz. If no more than $5 \%$ of the containers are to weigh less than 15.8 oz, what must the standard deviation of the weights equal? (Assume normality.)
