Historic standard deviation


In order to control the accuracy of filling of 8-ounce container of milk, the federal inspectors, knowing that the density of milk is 1.033 (which makes an 8-ounce container weigh 245grams), need that the mean amount of milk packaged should be significantly greater than 245 grams to minimize any under-filling. They require that mean weight should produce less than 1% of cartons underweight.

a) What should the mean weight be if the historic standard deviation is 1.65 grams?

b) Graphically show the solution domain for this problem (i.e., make a sketch illustrating the problem and what you're looking for). Indicate on the appropriate table the value you used and write the value in your final equation. There is no need to calculate the final value
