Mugs are packed into padded crates for shipping. Each crate contains 15 mugs. The mugs are normally distributed with a mean of 450g and a standard deviation of 5g. The weights of the empty crates are also normally distribute with a mean of 150g and a standard deviation of 13g. (a) Calculate the mean and variance for a fullncrate. (b) 90% of the full crates lie below a certain weight, what is that weight? use only maths and DO NOT USE THE EXCEL METHOD
