1. A study conducted by Hershey’s discovered that Americans
consumed an average of 11.4 pounds of chocolate per year (seems low
to me!) Let’s assume that the annual chocolate consumption follows
the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 3.6 pounds.
What is the probability that I will consume
a. less than 7 pounds of chocolate next year?
b. more than 9 pounds of chocolate next year?
c. between 8 and 12 pounds of chocolate next year?
d. between 7 and 9 pounds of chocolate next year?
2. Using the given information in problem #1, answer the
following questions.
a. What is the annual consumption of chocolate the greatest 15%
of all chocolate consumption?
b. What is the annual consumption of chocolate that represents
the lowest 5th percentile?
c. Determine the annual consumption of chocolate which is the
highest 10th percentile.
