Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = amount in ounce of soft drink dispensed into cup.
µ = mean amount
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 7.6oz
σ = 0.4 oz
a) The probability that the machine will overflow an 8-ounce cup is expressed as
P(x > 8) = 1 - P(x ≤ 8)
For x = 8,
z = (8 - 7.6)/0.4 = 1
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.84
P(x ≤ 8) = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16
b) P(x< 8) = 0.84
c) when the machine has just been loaded with 848 cups, the number of cups expected to overflow when served is
0.16 × 848 = 136 cups
Rational is the correct answer
My teacher told be to try and think of it as a circle, because circles are 360 degrees. Then to place those angles in the circle and it should make it easier to find the angles, because when you see it in the circle, you can divide it into 4 parts so that you would then have 4, 90 degree angles that you can then work off of by placing those angles you need to find into the circle. It was supposed to make it easier, and i genuinely hope that you can do this. You got this, and you will get through the pain of math tonight and many more. Good luck. ^-^
