The packaging process in a breakfast cereal company has been

adjusted so that an average of 15.0 oz of cereal is placed in each

.package

μ=15.0 oz

Of course not all packages have precisely 15.0 oz. because of

.random source of variability

The standard deviation of the actual net weight is

σ =0 .15 oz .

And the distribution of weights is known to follow the normal

.probability distribution

Determine the probability that a randomly chosen package will .1

.contain between 15.0 and 15.32 oz. of cereal

What is the probability that the weight of cereal will exceed .2

?.oz 15.25

What is the probability that the weight of cereal will be between .3

?.and 15.14 oz 14.95

What is the probability that the weight of cereal will be exactly .4

?.oz 15.20

What is the probability that the weight of cereal will be less than .5

?.oz 14.75
