boxes say they hold 16 oz. to make sure they do...?
Cereal boxes say they hold 16 oz. to make sure they do, the manufacturer fills the box to a mean weight of 16.1 oz. with a standard deviation of .05 oz. If the weights have a normal curve, what % of the boxes actually contains 16 oz or more?
First, we find the z-score for 16 where the mean is 16.1 and standard deviation is 0.05.
z = (16 - 16.1) / 0.05
z = -0.1 / 0.05
z = -2
Looking up -2 in a table gives us the area left of that line, but we want to know what % of the boxes are above 16 oz, or where z > -2, so we have to subtract it from 1 to get the are right of the line:
1 - 0.0228
0.9772
or 97.72%
