A beverage company produces cans of lemonade. According to the label a can contains a volume of 375mL of lemonade. A consumer group tested this claim by measuring the volume of lemonade in 2,500 cans. They found that the volume was normally distributed with a standard deviation of 5mL and a mean of 372mL.

If a can is chosen at random, find:

P (its volume is ≥382mL)

Answer :

The probability that the volume of a can chosen at random is ≥382 is 0.47725

Normal distribution probability

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. For the given question, we need to calculate the  z value as shown;

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Given the following parameters

[tex]x=382mL\\\mu (mean)=372mL\\\sigma(S.D)=5mL[/tex]

Substitute

[tex]z=\dfrac{382-372}{5} \\z=\dfrac{10}{5}\\ z=2[/tex]

In order to calculate the probability that the volume of a can chosen at random is ≥382, we will look for (z≥2)

z≥2 according to probability table is equivalent to 0.47725
