The weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces. what is the probability that a randomly selected item will weigh more than 10 ounces?

First we calculate z using the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

Where:

x = our variable, 10

μ = mean, 8

σ = standard dev, 2

Substituting known values:
z = (10 - 8)/2
z = 2/2
z = 1

Using the tables of the normal distribution to find the p-value with z = 1

p = 0.8413

Since we want "greater than 10”, we need to subtract the probability from 1 therefore

p* = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.
