Chapter 8.5, Problem 16E
Boxes are labeled as containing 500 g of cereal. The machine filling the boxes produces weights that are
(a) If the target weight is 500 g, what is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 480 g of cereal?
(b) Suppose a law states that no more than 5% of a manufacturer’s cereal boxes can contain less than the stated weight of 500 g. At what target weight should the manufacturer set its filling machine?
