Question 1118779: Assume that the weights of ripe watermelons grown at a particular farm are normally distributed with a mean of 40 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.0 pound. If the farm produces 300 ​watermelons, how many will weigh less than 39.67 ​pounds?

Find the z score.
Find the associated P.
Multiply by the total number of watermelons.
z=%2839.67-40%29%2F1
z=-0.33
P%28-0.33%29=0.3707
So 37.07% of the watermelons weigh 39.67 lbs or less.
Find 37.07% of 300.
