. Ketchup An automatic filling machine in a factory fills bottles of ketchup with a mean of 16.1 oz and a standard deviation of 0.05 oz with a distribution that can be well modeled by a Normal model. What is the probability that your bottle of ketchup contains less than 16 oz

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.9772

Step-by-step explanation:

The machine in the factory fills bottles of ketchup with a mean of 16.1 oz and a standard deviation of 0.05 oz.

We want to find the probability that a bottle of ketchup contains less than 16 oz.

We find the z-score of x=16.1 using

[tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{ \sigma} [/tex]

We substitute to get;

[tex]z = \frac{16.1 - 16}{0.05} = \frac{0.1}{0.05} = 2[/tex]

We read read the area corresponding to 2.0 on the standard normal distribution table to get:

P(X≤16.1)=0.9772
