The amount of icing on a Cuppie Cake large cupcake follows a Normal distribution, with a mean of 2 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. A random sample of 16 cupcakes is selected every day and measured. What is the probability the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces?

the probability the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces is 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the amount of icing on a Cuppie Cake large cupcake. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 2

σ = 0.3

n = 16

x = 2.1

the probability that the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces is expressed as

P(x ≥ 2.1)

For x = 2.1

z = (2.1 - 2)/(0.3/√16) = 1.33

We would determine the probability for the area above z = 1.33 from the normal distribution table. It would be

p = 1 - 0.91 = 0.09

P(x ≥ 2.1) = 0.09

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
