A spinner from a board game randomly indicates a real number between 0 and 50. The spinner is fair in the sense that it indicates a number in a given interval with the same probability as it indicates a number in any other interval of the same length.

A spinner from a board game randomly indicates a real number between 0 and 50. The spinner is fair in the sense that it indicates a number in a given interval with the same probability as it indicates a number in any other interval of the same length. Find the mean.

Boxes are labeled as containing 500 g of cereal. The machine filling the boxes produces weights that are normally distributed with standard deviation 12 g. If the target weight is 500 g, what is the probability that the machine produces a box with less than 475 g of cereal? Round your answer to four decimal places.
