Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable table or calculator is needed.
One standard deviation from the mean includes 68.27% of the total, so the number of bottles in the range 20 ± 0.16 ounces will be ...
0.6827·26,000 = 17,750 . . . . . within 20 ± 0.16
__
The number below 1.5 standard deviations below the mean is about 6.68%, so for the given sample size is expected to be ...
0.66799·26,000 = 1737 . . . . . below 19.76
_____
<em>Comment on the first number</em>
The "empirical rule" tells you that 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation (0.16 ounces) of the mean. When the number involved is expected to be expressed to 5 significant digits, your probability value needs better accuracy than that. To 6 digits, the value is 0.682689, which gives the same "rounded to the nearest integer" value as the one shown above.
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
