Answer:

The probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is 0.119.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a jar of peanut butter contains a mean of 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g.

Let X = <u><em>Amount of peanut butter in a jar</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 454 g

           \sigma = standard deviation = 10.2 g

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=454 , \sigma^{2} = 10.2^{2})

Now, the probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is given by = P(X > 466 g)

            P(X > 466 g) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{466-454}{10.2} ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.881 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

kiruha [24]
C + a = 138.....c = 138 - a
5.10c + 8.70a = 995.40

5.10(138 - a) + 8.70a = 995.40
703.80 - 5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40
-5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40 - 703.80
3.60a = 291.60
a = 291.60/3.60
a = 81 <===

20 out of 100 read 5 or more.

20/100 = 0.2

Now multiply the total students by 0..2:

275 x 0.2 = 55

55 people read 5 or more books.
