A brewery produces cans of beer that are supposed to contain exactly 12 ounces. But owing to the inevitable variation in the filling equipment, the amount of beer in each can is actually a random variable with a normal distribution. It has a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of .30 ounce. If you bought a six-pack of their beer what is the probability that you are going to actually get less than or equal to a total of 72 ounces of beer in your six-pack?
