Exercise 13

Southwestern Punch was made by Frutayuda, Inc. and sold in 12-ounce cans to benefit victims of Hurricane Zero. The mean number of ounces placed in a can by an automatic fill pump is 11.7 with a standard deviation of 0.18 ounce. Assuming a normal distribution, determine the probability that the filling pump will cause an overflow in a can, that is, the probability that more than 12 ounces will be released by the pump and overflow the can.
