A restaurant serves hot chocolate that has a mean temperature of 175 degrees with a standard deviation of 8.1 degrees. Find the probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees. Would this outcome warrant a replacement cup (meaning that it would be unusual)

Answer: 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 =[tex]P(x<161)[/tex]

[tex]=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{161-175}{8.1})\\\\=P(Z<-1.7284) [Z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-P(Z<1.7284)\\\\=1-0.9580\\\\=0.042[/tex]

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.
