that it will way between it .

Final answer:

The question relates to finding the probability of a fruit's weight falling within a certain range based on a normal distribution, which is not possible without the specified weight range. However, to solve such a problem, one would use the mean, standard deviation, and z-scores to determine this probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability that a randomly selected fruit from a particular distribution, with a known mean and standard deviation, falls within a specified weight range. Unfortunately, the exact range is not specified in the question, so we can't calculate an exact probability. However, to approach this type of question, we would typically use the properties of a normal distribution, which is described by its mean (average) and standard deviation (measure of spread). To find the probability that a fruit falls within a certain range, you would calculate the z-scores for the upper and lower bounds of the weight range and then consult a standard normal distribution table, or use a calculator with statistical functions, to find the probability associated with those z-scores.
