Determine the mean and standard deviation


Discuss the below:

Q: In grading Oranges into "A","B" and "C", a large orchard uses weights to distinguish Oranges. Any Orange weighing more than 2 ounces is classified as grade "A", while an Orange weighing less than 0.75 ounces is classified as grade "C". If the day's pick shows 16.6% are grade "A" and 6.68% are grade "C", determine the Mean and Standard Deviation. Assume the weights are normally distributed.

Hint: First calculate the appropriate z values for the probabilities given,then set up the equations to solve for the Mean and the Standard Deviation.
