93.32% of the soda cans contain more than the advertised 12 ounces of soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12.03, \sigma = 0.02$

What proportion of the soda cans contain more than the advertised 12 ounces of soda?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue off Z when X = 12. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{12 - 12.03}{0.02}$

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

1 - 0.0668 = 0.93332

Answer from: vjacksongonzalez

the proportion of the soda cans that contain more than the advertised 12 ounces of soda is 0.933

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of soda that the dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = amount of soda poured into the soda cans

µ = mean amount

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 12.03 ounces

σ = 0.02 ounce

The probability that the soda cans contain more than the advertised 12 ounces of soda is expressed as

P(x > 12) = 1 - P(x ≤ 12)

For x = 12,

z = (12 - 12.03)/0.02 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

P(x > 12) = 1 - 0.067

P(x > 12) = 0.933

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
