If the weight (in grams) of cereal in a box of Lucky Charms is N(470,5), what is the probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 453 g?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 453 g is 0.00034.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the weight (in grams) of cereal in a box of Lucky Charms.

It is provided that X follows a Normal distribution with parameters, μ = 470 and σ = 5.

Compute the probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 453 g as follows:

[tex]P(X<453)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{453-470}{5})[/tex]

                  [tex]=P(Z<-3.4)\\=0.00034[/tex]

*Use the z-table.

Thus, the probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 453 g is 0.00034.
