A major orange juice producer buys their supply of oranges from a large orange grove in Southern Florida. The contract with the supplier (i.e., the orange grove) is signed under the assumption that the amount of juice extracted from a typical orange from the supplier is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 4.70 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.40 ounces.  77% of the oranges will contain at least how many ounces of juice?
