Question 37

The weights of bags of sugar, WWW grams, are normally distributed such that W∼N(μ,1.22)W \sim \text{N}(\mu, 1.2^2)W∼N(μ,1.22).

a.

Given that 25%25\%25% of the bags weigh more than 502502502 grams, find the value of μ\muμ to the nearest 0.10.10.1 g.

b.

An employee selects 151515 bags at random.

Find the probability that fewer than 222 of these bags weigh more than 502502502 grams.
