Hey guys, I've got this question from my Statistics Homework and wondered if someone could point me to a website or supply some advice as to how to begin to solve the problem.
Bags of sweets are packed by a machine such that the masses (X) have a normal distribution with mean 250g and standard deviation 10g.
A bag is judged to be underweight and rejected if X<225g.
A bag is judged to be overweight and rejected if X>270g
What percentage of bags are rejected?
I've tried a few combinations, but without a formula I don't think I'm making any sense. Can an altered version of the formula for Standard Deviation be used?
Any help always appreciated : )
