Question 1150541: An apple juice producer buys all his apples from a conglomerate of apple growers in one northwestern state. The amount of juice obtained from each of these apples is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2.25 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.15 ounce. What is the probability that a randomly selected apple will contain more than 2.50 ounces?

%282.50+-+MEAN%29%2FSD

%282.50+-+2.25%29%2F0.15

= 0.25%2F0.15

= 1.67

Go to a z-table and look up 1.67. The result is 0.9525. This is the probability a randomly selected apple will contain LESS than 2.50 ounces. Therefore, the probability a randomly selected apple will contain MORE than 2.50 ounces is 1+-+0.9525, or 0.0475.
