A manufacturer of industrial solvent guarantees its customers that each drum of solvent they ship out contains at least 100 lbs of solvent. Suppose the amount of solvent in each drum is normally distributed with a mean of 101.8 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.76 pounds. Required:
a. What is the probability that a drum meets the guarantee? Give your answer to four decimal places.
b. What would the standard deviation need to be so that the probability a drum meets the guarantee is 0.99?

The answer is "0.6368 and 0.773".

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturer of organic compounds guarantees that its clients have at least 100 lbs. of solvent in every fluid drum they deliver.

For point a:

Therefore the Probability =0.6368  

For point b:

f

step-by-step explanation:

f

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
