The number of chocolate chips in an 18-ounce bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with mean 1252 and standard deviation 129 chips. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1100 and 1500 chocolate chips? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1125 chocolate chips? (c) What proportion of bags contains more than 1200 chocolate chips? (d) What is the percentile rank of a bag that contains 1425 chocolate chips?

a) 85.36% probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1100 and 1500 chocolate chips

b) 16.35% probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1125 chocolate chips

c) 0.3446 = 34.46% of bags contains more than 1200 chocolate chips

d) 91st percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 1252, \sigma = 129$

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1100 and 1500 chocolate chips?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1500 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1100.

X = 1500

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1500 - 1252}{129}$

Z = 1.92

Z = 1.92 has a pvalue of 0.9726

X = 1100

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1100 - 1252}{129}$

Z = -1.18

Z = -1.18 has a pvalue of 0.1190

0.9726 - 0.1190 = 0.8536

85.36% probability that a randomly selected bag contains between 1100 and 1500 chocolate chips

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1125 chocolate chips?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1125. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1125 - 1252}{129}$

Z = -0.98

Z = -0.98 has a pvalue of 0.1635

16.35% probability that a randomly selected bag contains fewer than 1125 chocolate chips.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1200.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1200 - 1252}{129}$

Z = -0.40

Z = -0.40 has a pvalue of 0.3446

0.3446 = 34.46% of bags contains more than 1200 chocolate chips

(d) What is the percentile rank of a bag that contains 1425 chocolate chips?

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1425 - 1252}{129}$

Z = 1.34

Z = 1.34 has a pvalue of 0.91

So the answer is the 91st percentile.

The table shows population statistics for the ages of best actor and best supporting actor winners at an awards ceremony. the distributions of the ages are approximately bell-shaped. compare the z-scores for the actors in the following situation. best actor best supporting actor muequals42.0 muequals49.0 sigmaequals7.3 sigmaequals15 in a particular year, the best actor was 59 years old and the best supporting actor was 45 years old. determine the z-scores for each. best actor: z equals best supporting actor: z equals (round to two decimal places as needed.) interpret the z-scores. the best actor was (more than 2 standard deviations above more than 1 standard deviation above less than 1 standard deviation above less than 2 standard deviations below) the mean, which (is not, is) unusual. the best supporting actor was (less than 1 standard deviation below more than 1 standard deviation above more than 2 standard deviations below more than 1 standard deviation below) the mean, which (is is not) unusual.
