A machine which fills 12 oz cans of soda actually filsl the can a random amount which is normally distrubuted with a mean of 12 oz and a standard deviation of 0.8 oz. What is the cut off point so that 93.0% of the cans will have that much soda or more?

Answer:

93.0% of the cans will have 10.82 oz of soda or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12 oz

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.8 oz

We are given that the distribution of soda fills is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

[tex]z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.93.

P(X > x)  

[tex]P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 12}{0.8})=0.93[/tex]  

[tex]= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 12}{0.8})=0.93 [/tex]  

[tex]=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 12}{0.8})=0.07 [/tex]  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

[tex]P(z<-1.476) = 0.07[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{x - 12}{0.8} = -1.476\\x = 10.8192 \approx 10.82[/tex]  

Hence, 93.0% of the cans will have 10.82 oz of soda or more.
