Poyes Hebler containing of cereal. The machine filling the boxes produces weights that are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 11. The target weight is 400. What is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 380 cereal? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Suppose the law states that no more than 390 manufacturer cereal boxes can contain less than the stated weight of 400. What is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 390 cereal? (Round your answer to the nearest gram.) At what target weight should the manufacturer set its filling?

Step 1
- The machine filling the boxes of cereal has weights that are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 11 and a target weight of 400. - We need to find the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 380 cereal. Show more…

Boxes are labeled as containing 400 g of cereal. The machine filling the boxes produces weights that are normally distributed with standard deviation 12 g. (a) If the target weight is 400 g, what is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 375 g of cereal? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Suppose a law states that no more than 10% of a manufacturer's cereal boxes can contain less than the stated weight of 400 g. At what target weight should the manufacturer set its filling machine? (Round your answer to the nearest gram.)

Boxes are labeled as containing 400 g of cereal. The machine filling the boxes produces weights that are normally distributed with standard deviation 9 g. (a) If the target weight is 400 g, what is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 380 g of cereal? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Suppose a law states that no more than 8% of a manufacturer's cereal boxes can contain less than the stated weight of 400 g. At what target weight should the manufacturer set its filling machine? (Round your answer to the nearest gram.) g
