Answer:
46% is the percent of the bags of baby carrots that have between 90 and 100 carrots
Step-by-step explanation:
The baby carrot is normally distributed.
z = (x – µ)/σ
x is equal to number of baby carrots
µ = mean
σ = standard deviation
Substituting the given values, we get –
90 ≤ x ≤ 100
z = (90 – 94)/8.2 = – 0.49
For z value of -0.49, the probability is 0.31
For x = 100
z = (100 – 94)/8.2 = 0.73
For z value of 0.73, the probability is 0.77
P(90 ≤ x ≤ 100) = 0.77 – 0.31 = 0.46
The percent of the bags of baby carrots having carrots between 90 and 100 carrots is 0.46 × 100 = 46%
