The probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =0.042
This outcome would warrant a replacement cup.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a random variable that represents the temperature of hot chocolates.
GIven: Mean temperature = 175 degrees
standard deviation = 8.1 degrees
The probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =
Hence, the probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =0.042 < 0.5 (unusual)
i.e. this outcome would warrant a replacement cup.
