The weights of packets of a certain type of biscuit are normally distributed with mean 400 grams and standard deviation \(\sigma\) grams.
- In a random sample of 6000 packets of this type of biscuit, 225 packets weighed more than 410 grams. Find the value of \(\sigma\).
- In a random sample of 500 packets of this type of biscuit, how many packets would you expect to find with weights that are more than 1.5 standard deviations from the mean?
