How much is in that can? The volume of beverage in a 12-ounce can is normally distributed with mean 12.05 ounces and standard deviation 0.04 ounces. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected can will contain more than 12.07 ounces? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected can will contain between 12 and 12.03 ounces? (c) Is it unusual for a can to be underfilled (contain less than 12 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.
