Question 980807: The fill weight of a certain brand of adult cereal is normally distributed with a mean of 910 grams and a standard deviation of 5 grams. If we select one box of cereal at random from this population, what is the probability that it will weigh less than 904 grams?

z=(value-mean)/sd
z=(904-910)/5
z=-6/5= -1.2
want probability z< -1.2
probability = 0.115
