Question 72

A juice company sells two sizes of orange juice cartons. The volume of juice in each carton is normally distributed. A large carton has a mean of 1000 ml and a standard deviation of 12 ml. A small carton has a mean of 240 ml and a standard deviation of 5 ml.

a.

One large carton and 4 small cartons are chosen at random. Find the probability that the volume in the large carton is greater than the total volume in the 4 small cartons.

b.

One large carton and one small carton are chosen at random. Find the probability that the volume in the large carton is less than 4 times the volume in the small carton.
