Question 90

A factory produces bags of flour. The weight of flour, WWW grams, in a bag can be modelled by a normal distribution with mean 505 grams and standard deviation 4 grams.

a.

Find P(W<498)P(W < 498)P(W<498).

[2]
b.

Find the value of www such that P(505<W<w)=0.35P(505 < W < w) = 0.35P(505<W<w)=0.35.

[4]
c.
