The weights of the contents of cans of tomato sauce produced by a company are normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. Question 10 A can is overfull if it weighs more than 8.5 ounces. What is the probability that a randomly selected can is overfull? (Provide 4 decimals) Question 11 What is the probability that a randomly selected can weigh between 7.6 and 8.4 ounces? (Provide 4 decimals) Question 12 What weight would a can have to be in the top 20% of can weights? (Provide 2 decimals)

5 ounces. We can use the standard normal distribution formula to find this probability: z = (x - μ) / σ where z is the standard score, x is the weight of the can, μ is the mean weight of the cans (8 ounces), and σ is the standard deviation (0.2 ounces). So, for Show more…

The contents of soft drink bottles are normally distributed with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.56 ounces. A bottle is selected randomly. (Round Z scores to 2 decimals and probabilities to 4 decimals) What is the probability that a bottle will have less than 11.6 ounces? Question 2: What is the probability that a bottle will have between 11.6 ounces and 12.2 ounces? Question 3 What is the probability that a bottle will have more than 12.2 ounces?
