Solution Steps

Step 1: Area Under the Curve

For a normal distribution, the area under the curve is always equal to 1. This represents the total probability of all possible outcomes.

\[ \text{Area under the curve} = 1.0 \]

Step 2: Value of the Median

In a normal distribution, the mean (\( \mu \)) is equal to the median. Given that the mean weight of the Hershey Kisses is \( 4.5338 \, g \), we can conclude that:

\[ \text{Median} = \mu = 4.5338 \, g \]

Final Answer

\[ \text{Area under the curve} = \boxed{1.0} \] \[ \text{Median} = \boxed{4.5338 \, g} \]
