Question 1169554: The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.09 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.06 ounce. Each can holds a maximum of 12.15 ounces of soda. Every can that has more than 12.15 ounces of soda poured into it causes a spill and the can must go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold. What is the probability that a randomly selected can will need to go through this process?
