Question
A random sample of 1000 oranges showed that the mean amount of juice per orange was 7.8 fluid ounces, with a standard deviation of 1.3 fluid ounces.
(a) Determine the z-score, to the nearest hundredth, of an orange that produced 6.6 fluid ounces of juice.
(b) The z-score for one orange was 3.11. How much juice was produced by this orange? Round to the nearest tenth of a fluid ounce.
(b) The z-score for one orange was 3.11. How much juice was produced by this orange? Round to the nearest tenth of a fluid ounce.
