Answer:
The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
7% of the bottles containing this soft drink there are less than 15.5 ounces
This means that when X = 15.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.07. So when X = 15.5, Z = -1.475.




10% of them there are more than 16.3 ounces.
This means that when X = 16.3, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So when X = 16.3, Z = 1.28.




From above

So




The mean is

The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.
"Increased crop yields" is the one change in today's world among the choices given in the question that <span>is a product of advances in biology.

I'm assuming you want us to solve for the unknown variable z

Combine like terms on the right side

Use the distributive property on the left side

Add both sides by 20 to cancel out the "-20" on the left side

Divide both sides by 10

That is the value of the known variable, z, in this equation. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
