5 A food company makes mini apple pies. The weight of pastry in a pie is Normally distributed with mean 75 g and standard deviation 4 g . The weight of filling in a pie is Normally distributed with mean 130 g and standard deviation 8 g . You should assume that the weights of pastry and filling in a pie are independent.
- Find the probability that the weight of pastry in a randomly chosen pie is between 70 g and 80 g .
- Find the probability that the mean weight of filling in 10 randomly chosen pies is at least 125 g.
The pies are sold in packs of 4 . The weight of the packaging is Normally distributed with mean 165 g and standard deviation 6 g .
- In order to find the probability that the total weight of a pack of 4 pies is less than 1 kg , you must assume that the weight of the packaging is independent of the weight of the pies.
- State another necessary assumption.
- Given that the assumptions are valid, calculate this probability.
