A) P(even) = 4/8 = 1/2

b) P(>3) = 5/8

c) P(odd) = 4/8

Basically, numerator = what they ask, denominator = all possibilities. That usually works well in all prob exercises. Hope it helps

The amount of soft drink in a bottle is a Normal random variable. Suppose that in 7% of the bottles containing this soft drink t

WITCHER [35]

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 $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.475 = \frac{15.5 - \mu}{\sigma}$
