The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-

ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a standard

deviation of 0.20 ounce. Every can that has more than 12.50

ounces of soda poured into it causes a spill and the can must go

through a special cleaning process before it can be sold. What is

the mean amount of soda the machine should dispense if the

company wants to limit the percentage that must be cleaned

because of spillage to 3%?

A) 12.9340 ounces B) 12.1240 ounces

C) 12.0660 ounces D) 12.8760 ounces
