Question 62

A bakery produces loaves of bread whose weights, WWW grams, follow a normal distribution with mean 800 g800\text{ g}800 g and standard deviation 25 g25\text{ g}25 g.

a.

Estimate the proportion of loaves that weigh more than 840 g840\text{ g}840 g.

[2]
b.

The bakery classifies loaves into three categories: Small, Standard, and Large, such that there is an equal proportion of loaves (exactly 13\frac{1}{3}31​) in each category.

Find the weight limits that define the 'Standard' category.

[3]
c.

A loaf is selected at random from the 'Large' category.

Find the probability that this loaf weighs less than 830 g830\text{ g}830 g.

[3]
d.

A customer selects a random sample of 3 loaves from the bakery's total production.

Find the probability that there is exactly one loaf from each of the three categories.
