With a mean of 499.875 and a standard deviation of 1.58, the probability that a jar contains less than 500 g is allowed to be at most 0.005. What setting for the mean is correct?
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-value with a left-tail of 0.005
\n" ); document.write( "inNorm(0.005) = -2.5758
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for u::
\n" ); document.write( "500 = -2.5758*1.58 + u
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "u = 504.07
\n" ); document.write( "--------
