A soft-drink machine is regulated so that it discharges an average of 200 mm/cup. Of the amount of drink is normally distributed with a standard deviation equal to 15 mm, how many cups will probably overflow if 230 mm cups are used for the next 1000 drinks?
The probability of overflow if 230 cups is used
P(X>230) = P(Z>2)
= 1- P(Z<2)
= 1- 0.9772= 0.0228
by using binomial property we get
E(X)=
=1000 = 22.8
