    The masses of Fuji apples are normally distributed with a mean of 163 g and a standard deviation of 6.83 g. When Fuji apples are picked, they are classified as small, medium, large or extra large depending on their mass. Large apples have a mass of between 172 g and 183 g.

    Question
    SLPaper 1

    The masses of Fuji apples are normally distributed with a mean of 163 g and a standard deviation of 6.83 g. When Fuji apples are picked, they are classified as small, medium, large or extra large depending on their mass. Large apples have a mass of between 172 g and 183 g.

    1.

    Determine the probability that a Fuji apple selected at random will be a large apple.

    Solution

    sketch of normal curve with shaded region to the right of the mean and correct values

    0.0921(0.0920950…)0.0921(0.0920950\ldots)0.0921(0.0920950…)

    2.

    Approximately 68% of Fuji apples have a mass within the medium-sized category, which is between k and 172 g. Find the value of k.

    Solution

    EITHER (P(x<172))(P(x<172))(P(x<172)) 0.906200…0.906200\ldots0.906200… (0.906200…−0.68)(0.906200\ldots-0.68)(0.906200…−0.68) 0.226200…0.226200\ldots0.226200…

    OR

    (P(163<x<172))(P(163<x<172))(P(163<x<172)) 0.406200…0.406200\ldots0.406200… 0.5−(0.68−0.406200…)0.5-(0.68-0.406200\ldots)0.5−(0.68−0.406200…) OR 0.5+(0.68−0.406200…)0.5+(0.68-0.406200\ldots)0.5+(0.68−0.406200…) 0.226200…0.226200\ldots0.226200… OR 0.773799 ...

    OR

    Note: Award A1A1A1 for a normal distribution curve with a vertical line on each side of the mean and a correct probability of either 0.406 or 0.274 or 0.906 shown, A1 for a probability of 0.226 seen.

    THEN

    (k=)158(k=) 158(k=)158 g (157.867…(157.867\ldots(157.867… g)
