Homework Statement
"Cans of lemon juice are supposed to contain 440 ml of juice. It is found that the actual volume of
juice in a can is normally distributed with mean 445 ml and standard deviation 3.6 ml."
It is found that 94% of the cans contain between 445−c ml and 445+c ml of juice.
(ii) Find the value of c
Homework Equations
X~N(445,3.6)
$$p(445-c ≤ x ≤ 445+c) = 0.94$$
The Attempt at a Solution
$$p(445-c ≤ x ≤ 445+c) = 0.94$$
$$p(x≤ 445+c)-p(x≥445-c)= 0.94$$
$$p(x≤ 445+c)-p(x≥445-c)= 0.94$$
$$p(x≤ 445+c)-[1-p(x≤445-c)]= 0.94$$
$$p(x≤ 445+c)+p(x≤445-c)= 1.94$$
..whenever I standardize this normal distribution, the terms cancel out. How would I go about solving this problem?
