Question 925042: Assume the fill amount of bottles of a soft drink is normally distributed with a mean of 2.0 liters and standard deviation of 0.03 liter. What is the probability that a randomly selected bottle contains more than 1.94 liters? Use the Empirical Rule Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume the fill amount of bottles of a soft drink is normally distributed with a mean of 2.0 liters and standard deviation of 0.03 liter. What is the probability that a randomly selected bottle contains more than 1.94 liters? Use the Empirical Rule
-------
Find the sigma distance of 1.94 from the mean:: (1.94-2)/0.03 = -0.06/0.03 = -2
------
Since 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations of the mean,
only 2.5% of the data is to the left of 1.94.
---
Ans :: Therefore 97.5% of the data is to the right of 1.94.
