Question

A fruit-packing company produced peaches last summer whose weights were normally distributed with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 0.6 ounces. Among a sample of 1,000 of those peaches, about how many could be expected to have wights between 15.5 and 17.5 ounces?

Areas under the Normal Curve
The column under A gives the
proportion of the area under the
entire curve that is betweenz=0
and a positive value of z.
Because the curve is symmetric
about 0, the area between z=0
and a negative value of z can I
found by using the corresponding
positive value of z.

Areas under the Normal Curve
The column under A gives the
proportion of the area under the
entire curve that is between z=0
and a positive value of z.
Because the curve is symmetric
about 0, the area betweenz=0 and
a negative value of z can be found
by using the corresponding positive
value of z.
