The packaging process in a breakfast cereal company has been adjusted so that an average of μ=12.0 oz of cereal is placed in each package. Of course, not all packages have precisely 12.0 oz because of random sources of variability. The standard deviation of the actual net weight is σ=0.2 oz, and the distribution of weights is known to follow the normal probability distribution. Determine the probability that a randomly chosen package will contain between 13.0 and 13.2 oz of cereal and illustrate the proportion of area under the normal curve which is associated with this probability valu
