The amount of cereal that can be poured into a small bowl varies with a mean of 1.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. A large bowl holds a mean of 2.5 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.4 ounce. A student opens a new box of cereal and pours one large and one small bowl. Suppose that the amount of cereal the manufacturer puts in the boxes is a random variable with a mean of 16.2 ounces...

5. A cereal factory’s machine is adjusted to fill boxes with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.6 ounces. Assume the amount of fill is normally distributed. a. In order to ensure boxes are not inappropriately filled, they need to be between the 45 and 55 percentiles. How many ounces should be in each box to ensure they fall within the appropriate fill level?

A cereal box filling machine is designed to release an amount of 12 ounces of cereal into each box, and the machine’s manufacturer wants to know of any departure from this setting. The engineers at the factory randomly sample 100 boxes of cereal and find a sample mean of 12.25 ounces. If we know from previous research that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.51 ounces, is there evidence that the mean amount of cereal in...

58. Cereal A company's cereal boxes advertise that each box contains 9.65 ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal in a randomly selected box follows a Normal distribution with mean μ 9.70 ounces and standard deviation σ = 0,03 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected box of the cereal contains less than 9.65 ounces of cereal? (b) Now take an SRS of 5 boxes. What is the probability that the mean amount of cereal...

A packaging system fills boxes to an average weight of 19 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.4 ounce. It is reasonable to assume that the weights are normally distributed. Calculate the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quartiles of the box weight. (You may find it useful to reference the z table. Round "z" value to 3 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
