It should be 112.5 pounds because if there are 15 boxes and each box weighs 7.5 pounds, 15 x 7.5 = 112.5
Answer:
The probability is 0.017429
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by calculating the z-score
Mathematically;
z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√n
In this case;
x = 273
mean = 276
SD = √(variance) = √81 = 9
n = 40
Substituting these values into the z-score formula, we have that;
z = (273-276)/9/√40
z = -2.11
So we proceed to get the probability
the probability in this case is;
P( z < -2.11)
We can use the normal distribution table for this
Our answer will be
P( z < -2.11) = 0.017429
