2 The weight, \(X\) grams, of the contents of a tin of baked beans can be modelled by a normal random variable with a mean of 421 and a standard deviation of 2.5.
  1. Find:
    1. \(\mathrm { P } ( X = 421 )\);
    2. \(\mathrm { P } ( X < 425 )\);
    3. \(\mathrm { P } ( 418 < X < 424 )\).
  2. Determine the value of \(x\) such that \(\mathrm { P } ( X < x ) = 0.98\).
  3. The weight, \(Y\) grams, of the contents of a tin of ravioli can be modelled by a normal random variable with a mean of \(\mu\) and a standard deviation of 3.0 . Find the value of \(\mu\) such that \(\mathrm { P } ( Y < 410 ) = 0.01\).
