The weights of small bags of pasta produced by the company are normally distributed with mean 0.75 kg and standard deviation \(\sigma\) kg. It is found that 68% of these small bags have weight less than 0.9 kg.
Find the value of \(\sigma\).
Solution
Given that the weights are normally distributed with mean \(\mu = 0.75\) kg and standard deviation \(\sigma\) kg, and 68% of the weights are less than 0.9 kg, we can use the standard normal distribution to find \(\sigma\).
