Question:

A company’s single-serving cereal boxes advertise 1.63 ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal X in a randomly selected box can be modeled by a Normal distribution with a mean of 1.70 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.03 ounce. Let Y = the excess amount of cereal beyond what’s advertised in a randomly selected box, measured in grams (1 ounce = 28.35 grams).

a. Find the mean of Y.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of Y.

c. Find the probability of getting at least 1 gram more cereal than advertised.
