Question: A machine used to regulate the amount of a certain chemical dispensed in the production of a particular type of cough syrup can be set

A machine used to regulate the amount of a certain chemical dispensed in the production of a particular type of cough syrup can be set so that it discharges an average of µ milliliters (ml) of the chemical in each bottle of cough syrup. The amount of chemical placed into each bottle of cough syrup is known to have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.250 ml. If this machine discharges more than 2 ml of the chemical when preparing a given bottle of this cough syrup, the bottle is considered to be unacceptable by industry standards. Determine the setting for µ so that no more than 1% of the bottles of cough syrup prepared by this machine will be rejected.
