Please Solve This Question Question Number 02     The packaging process in a breakfast cereal company has been adjusted so that an average of   oz of cereal is placed in each package. Of course, not all packages have precisely 12.0 oz because of random sources of variability. The standard deviation of the actual net weight is  oz, and the distribution of weights is known to follow the normal probability distribution. Determine the probability that a randomly chosen package will contain between 13.0 and 13.2 oz of cereal and illustrate the proportion of area under the normal curve which is associated with this probability value.

Question Number 02    

  1. The packaging process in a breakfast cereal company has been adjusted so that an average of

  oz of cereal is placed in each package. Of course, not all packages have precisely 12.0 oz because of random sources of variability. The standard deviation of the actual net weight is

 oz, and the distribution of weights is known to follow the normal probability distribution. Determine the probability that a randomly chosen package will contain between 13.0 and 13.2 oz of cereal and illustrate the proportion of area under the normal curve which is associated with this probability value.
