    4. A soft drink machine is regulated so that it discharges an average of 200 milliliters per cup. If the amount of a
    drink is normally distributed with a standard deviation equal to 15 milliliters
    a) What fraction of the cups will contain more than 224 milliliters?
    b) What is the probability that a cup contains between 191 and 209 milliliters?
    c) How many cups over will probably overflow if 230 ml cups are used for the next 100 drinks?
    d) Below what value do we get the smallest 25% of the drinks?
    5. The scores for a mathematics course seem to be normally distributed with mean 70 & standard deviation of 8.

    A grade and a B grade?
    6. a) A normal distribution has mean = 62.4. Find its standard deviation if 20% of the area under the curve
    lies to the right of 79.2.
    b) A random variable X has a normal distribution with = 5. Find its mean if the
    probability is 0.8264 that the random variable will take on a value less than 52.5.
    c) Show that 65.24% of the observations in a normally distributed population lie between
    − 1.1 and + 0.8 .
