The weights of ice cream cartons are normally distributed with a mean weight of ounces and a standard deviation of ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than ounces? (b) A sample of cartons is randomly selected. What is the probability that their mean weight is greater than ounces? (a) The probability is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights of ice cream cartons produced by a manufacturer are normally distributed with a mean weight of 10 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces? (b) You randomly select 25 cartons. What is the probability that their mean weight is greater than 10.21 ounces

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 10 ounces, standard deviation (σ) = 0.5 ounces.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score (z) is given by:

a) For x = 10.21:

From the normal distribution table, probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces  = P(x > 10.21) = P(z > 0.42) = 1 - P(z < 0.42) = 1 - 0.6628 = 0.3372

b ) For x = 10.21 and n = 25

From the normal distribution table, probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces  = P(x > 10.21) = P(z > 2.1) = 1 - P(z < 2.1) = 1 - 0.9826 = 0.0174

answer is 1
