Mean weight of the candies


A certain brand of candies have a mean weight of .8592 g and a standard deviation of .052 based on a sample of a package containing 466 candies. the package label stated that the net weight is 397.7 g (if every package has 466 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed 397.7/466 = .8538 for the net contents to weigh at least 397.7g)

A. If 1 candy is randomly selected, find the probability that it weighs more than .8535

B. If 466 candies are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is at least .8535 or greater
