A vending machine automatically pours soft drinks into cups. The amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distributed with a mean of 7.6oz and standard deviation of 0.4oz. Examine figure 7.- and answer the following questions.
a) estimate the probability that the machine will overflow an 8oz cup.
Procedure:
Determine the z-score for 8
z(8) = (8-7.6)/0.4 = 0.4/0.4 = 1
P(x>8) = P(z>1) = 0.1587..
-----------------------
b) Estimate the probabiltiy that the machine will not overflow an 8oz cup.
P(z<1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413..
-----------------
c) the machine has just been loaded with 850 cups. How many of these do you expect will overflow when served?
0.1587*850 = 134.857..; Rounded down you get 134 cups
