On the average, there are 500 mg of aspirin in an “Extra Strength” aspirin tablet. Suppose the random variable assigning amount of aspirin in a tablet is normally distributed with standard deviation 20 mg.

a) What proportion of extra strength aspirin tablets can be expected to contain between 475 and 525 mg of aspirin?

a-1) If you purchase a 100-tablet bottle of extra strength aspirin, about how many of them would contain more than 530 mg of aspirin?

a-2) How much aspirin would a tablet have to contain to be in the top 5% of the aspirin content range?

please show the steps to the answer thank you

Explanation / Answer

ans=

a. P(475 < x < 525) = 0.7887

b. P(x > 530) = 0.066807

Number of people = 0.066807*100 = 6.68. Therefore about 7 of them.

c. P(x < m) = 0.05
