The probability that the next report will weigh less than 45 grams = 0.106
In this question, we have been given the weight of written reports produced in a certain department has a normal distribution with mean 60 grams and standard deviation 12 grams.
We need to find the probability that the next report will weigh less than 45 grams.
We have mean= 60 grams
Standard Deviation = 12 grams
First we convert 45 to z score.
45 converted to z score for given mean and standard deviation will be:
z = (45 - 60)/12
z = -1.25
So, from standard normal table a P-value:
P(x<45) = 0.10565
Therefore, the probability would be 0.10565
