Card 27 / 31:
Certain coins have an average weight of 5.201 grams with a standard deviation of 0.065 g. If a vending machine is designed to accept coins whose weights range from 5.111 g to 5.291 g, what is the expected number of rejected coins when 280 randomly selected coins are inserted into the machine?
Since we have normalcdf ( 5. 111,5 .291,5 .201, 0. 065 280 ) ≈ 1, we can conclude that practically all the coins are within the limits, therefore, there should be no rejected coins out of a well selected sample of size 280.
