The amount of hot chocolate dispensed by a hot chocolate machine is normally distributed with a mean of 16 ounces and a standard

deviation of 2 ounces. (a) If the cups can hold a maximum of 18 ounces each what is the probability that a selected cup will be overfilled! (b) If the cups can hold a maximum of 18 ounces each what is the probability that a selected cup will be underfilled! (c) If the cups can hold a maximum of 18 ounces each what is the probability that a selected cup will be less than half" filled!
