The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8554 g and a standard deviation of 0.052 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 447 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 381.7 g. (If every package has 447 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed 381.7 =0.8539 g for the net contents to weigh at least 381.7 g.) 447

The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8584 g and a standard deviation of 0.0517g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 467 candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 398.6g. (If every package has 467 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed StartFraction 398.6 Over 467 EndFraction equals 0.8536g for the net contents to weigh at least 398.6g.) a. If 1 candy is randomly selected, find the probability that it weighs more than 0.8536g. The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 467 candies are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8536g. The probability that a sample of 467 candies will have a mean of 0.8536 g or greater is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Suppose that X has the uniform distribution on the interval [0, 1]. Compute the variance of X.
In an Omani factory, a machine that produces "W-product" has been set so that the true average diameter of the "W-product" it produces is 0.602 in. If its diameter is within 0.04 in. of this target value, this is acceptable. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the products have normally distributed diameters with mean value 0.601 in. and standard deviation 0.002 in. What percentage of the "W-product" produced will not be acceptable
