The weights of bags of ready-to-eat salad are normally distributed with a mean of 290 grams and a standard deviation of 10 grams.

What percent of the bags weigh less than 280 grams?

13.5%

16%

34%

36.5%

Respuesta :

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 290 grams

Standard deviation = 10 grams

Since the weight of bags of ready-to-eat salad are normally distributed.

We need to find the percent of the bags weigh less than 280 grams.

As we know that

[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{280-290}{10}\\\\z=-10[/tex]

[tex]P(X<280)=P(z<-1)= 0.1587[/tex] (Using the normally distribution table)

If we change it into percentage.

[tex]0.1587\times 100\\\\=15.87\%\\\\\approx 16\%[/tex]

Hence, Second option is correct.
