Answer:

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 12.

Assuming we can precisely adjust σ, what should we set σtobe so that the actual amount dispensed is between 11 and 13 ounces, 95% of the time?

13 should be 2 standard deviations above the mean of 12, and 11 should be two standard deviations below the mean.

So 1 should be worth two standard deviations. Then

2\sigma = 1

\sigma = \frac{1}{2}

\sigma = 0.5

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.
