Suppose certain coins have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of
5.641 g5.641 g
and a standard deviation of
0.069 g0.069 g.
A vending machine is configured to accept those coins with weights between
5.5215.521
g and
5.7615.761
g.
a. If
300300
different coins are inserted into the vending machine, what is the expected number of rejected coins?The expected number of rejected coins is
2525.
(Round to the nearest integer.)b. If
300300
different coins are inserted into the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of
5.5215.521
g and
5.7615.761
g?The probability is approximately
