Transcribed Image Text:The distribution of the weights of cereal in boxes of a specific brand of cereal is approximately normally distributed with mean 14 ounces and standar and (b) below. a. Explain why it would be unwise for the cereal company to advertise that each box contains 14 ounces of cereal. OA. Only half of the boxes of cereal would have exactly 14 ounces of cereal. B. Only half of the boxes of cereal would have at least 14 ounces of cereal. OC. More than half of the boxes of cereal would have at least 14 ounces of cereal. OD. Less than half of the boxes of cereal would have at least 14 ounces of cereal. b. What should the company advertise the weight of the cereal in each box to be so that 99% of the boxes contain at least that much cereal? The company should advertise the weight of the cereal in each box to be (Round to one decimal place as needed.) ounces.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
