A canning company that cans pineapple juice has a machine that automatically fills 16-ounce cans. From quality contril data it was found that the average amount of pineapple juice dispensed into the cans was sixteen ounces with a standard deviation of one ounce. If the amount of fill per can is assumed to be normally distrubited, what is the probability that the machine will overfill any of the cans?

The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
