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 = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean = 454 g
= standard deviation = 10.2 g
So, X ~ Normal()
Now, the probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is given by = P(X > 466 g)
P(X > 466 g) = P( >
) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z
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.
