Question

Determine the following and shade the area of interest under the curve for each problem. Make sure you label your x-axis on the plot and label information on the plot which describes the problem. Box your final answers. A farmer measured the weights of a crop of Vidalia sweet onions. The mean weight of a single onion was 0.5 lb with a standard deviation of 0.03 lb. Assume the weights of the onions had a normal distribution. What is the probability that an onion in this batch will weigh less than 0.455 lb?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
