Answer

0.0119

Work Step by Step

Let's find the z-score for 5.25 ounces: $z=\frac{X-μ}{σ}=\frac{5.25-5.11}{0.062}=2.26$ According to Table V, the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 2.26 is 0.9881. But, we want the area to the right (too heavy means $X\gt5.25~ounces$) of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 2.26: $1-0.9881=0.0119$
