A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed are supposed to contain 300m. In fact, the contents vary according to a Normal Distribution with mean of 298 mL and a standard deviation of 3 mL. (a) What is the probability that an individual bottle contains less than 295 mL? Show your work. (b) What is the probability that the mean contents of six randomly chosen bottles is less than 295 mL? Show your work.

Given values are:

Mean,

Standard deviation,

(a)

P(x < 295)

The standardized score will be:

→

By substituting the values, we get

Now,

By using the Z probability calculator, we get

→

(b)

The standardized score will be:

→

By putting the values,

Now,

→

Thus the responses above are correct.

0.15866 ; 0.0071627

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 298

Standard deviation (s) = 3

A.) P(x < 295)

Using the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (295 - 298) / 3 = - 1

p(Z < - 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

B.)

Z = (x - m) / s /sqrt(n)

Z = (295 - 298) / 3/sqrt(6) = −2.449489

p(Z < - 2.449) = 0.0071627 ( Z probability calculator)
