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
Answer: There isn't a possible way you can really answer this question because I don't know how much one piece cost in the first place , but if I had to guess I would say around 50-80 dollars for a cake is enough for 57 guests.
explanation: I say this because I know usually cakes for a decent amount of people are around 50-80 dollars.
Wait huh?????????????????
The answer is going to be D
