Find the standard deviation of amount remaining in tube


A tube of Listerine Tartar Control toothpaste contains 4.2 ounces. As people use the toothpaste, the amount remaining in any tube is random. Assume the amount of toothpaste left in the tube follows a uniform distribution. From this information, we can determine the following information about the amount remaining in a toothpaste tube without invading anyones privacy.

(a) How much toothpaste would you expect to be remaining in the tube? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

(b) What is the standard deviation of the amount remaining in the tube? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

(c) What is the likelihood there is less than 3.0 ounces remaining in the tube? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

(d) What is the probability there is more than 1.5 ounces remaining in the tube? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
