Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. The weights of 9-ounce bags of a particular brand of potato
chips can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean of
9.12 ounces and standard deviation 0.05 ounce. Use the
empirical rule to answer the following questions. (Make
sketch of normal curve on the back.)
a. What percent of bags weigh less than 9.07 ounces?
b. What proportion of bags weigh between 8.97 and
9.17 ounces?
2. The heights of adult American men can be modeled by a
normal distribution with mean µ = 69 inches and standard

the back.)
a.
What percent of adult American men are taller
than 74 inches?
b. What proportion of adult American men have
heights between 64 and 71.5 inches?
