M = 1200

σ = 102

a. P(less than 1000 servings) = P(X < 1000)

=P(XMσ<1000Mσ)= P(\frac{X-M}{σ} < \frac{1000-M}{σ})

=P(Z<10001200102)= P(Z < \frac{1000-1200}{102})

=P(Z<1.96)=0.025=P(Z < -1.96) = 0.025

b. P(more than 1400 servings) = P(X>1400)

=P(XMσ>1400Mσ)= P(\frac{X-M}{σ} > \frac{1400-M}{σ})

=P(Z>14001200102)= P(Z > \frac{1400-1200}{102})

= P(Z > 1.96)

= 1 – P(Z ≤ 1.96) = 1 – 0.975 = 0.025

c. P(between 1100 to 1300 serving) = P(1100 < X < 1300)

=P(1100Mσ<XMσ<1300Mσ)= P(\frac{1100 – M}{σ} < \frac{X – M}{σ} < \frac{1300 – M}{σ})

=P(11001200102<Z<13001200102)= P(\frac{1100 – 1200}{102} < Z < \frac{1300 – 1200}{102})

= P(-0.98 < Z < 0.98)

=P(Z ≤ 0.98) – P(Z ≤ -0.98) = 0.8365 – 0.1635 = 0.673

d. P(less than 1000 but not less than 1350) = P(1000 > X) + P(X> 1350)

=P(1000Mσ>XMσ)+P(XMσ>1350Mσ)= P(\frac{1000 – M}{σ} > \frac{X – M}{σ}) + P(\frac{X – M}{σ} > \frac{1350 – M}{σ})

=P(10001200102>Z)+P(Z>13501200102)= P(\frac{1000 – 1200}{102} > Z) + P(Z > \frac{1350 – 1200}{102})

= P(-1.96 > Z) + P(Z > 1.47)

= P(Z < -1.96) + (1 – P(Z ≤ 1.47)) = 0.025 + (1 – 0.9292) = 0.0958
