Question 866978
The number of candies put in each package is normally distributed. The mean number of candies per package is 200 with a standard deviation of 10. A package of candies will be accepted only if there are between 175-200 candies in the package. Out of 5000 packages, about how many will have to be rejected? 
-----
z(175) = (175-200)/10 = -25/10 = -2.5
----
z(200) = 0
-----------------------
P(x < 175) = P(z < -2.5) = 0.0062
P(x > 200) = P(z > 0.5) = 0.5
---------------------
Sum = 0.5062
-----
# rejected = 0.5062*5000 = 2531
