Question

The acme company manufactures widgets. The distribution of a widget weights is bell shaped. The widget weights have a mean of 45 ounces and a standard deviation of 4 ounces.

Answer 1

Is there more to this question beyond what you posted?

Typically a question like this would be asking you to convert something like a Z score or probability based on the underlying information.

For example you could use the equation Z = (x – mean) / (standard deviation) in order to compute the Z score for a bell-shaped/normal distribution like this and then a calculator like Excel in order to convert that value over into a probability.

I hope that helps! :)
