Suppose the masses of a batch of 2000 potatoes have a mean of 60 grams with a standard deviation of 8 grams. Assuming the weights have a normal distribution, predict the number of potatoes that would have masses between 45 and 55 grams. Sketch the distribution curve, shade the required probability, and show horizontal scales the population parameters and the z-scores. Solve the problem 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

Given that, Random variable X :Weight of potatoes from a batch of 2000 potatoes has normal distribution with mean 60 grams and standard deviation of 8 grams.

i.e.  X~ Normal( μ=60, σ2 =64)
