A certain brand of candies have a mean weight of .8592 g and a standard deviation of .052 based on a sample of a package containing 466 candies. the package label stated that the net weight is 397.7 g (if every package has 466 candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed 397.7/466 = .8538 for the net contents to weigh at least 397.7g)

A. If 1 candy is randomly selected, find the probability that it weighs more than .8535
