1. The size of fish is very important to commercial fishing. A study conducted in 2012 found the length of Atlantic cod caught in nets in Karlskrona to have a mean of 49.9 cm and a standard deviation of 3.74 cm. Assume the length of fish is normally distributed. (a) State the random variable. (b) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length less than 52 cm. (c) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length of more than 74 cm. (d) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length between 40.5 and 57.5 cm. (e) What length are 15% of all Atlantic cod longer than?

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 122.7-cm and a standard deviation of 0.5-cm. Find the probability that the length of a randomly selected steel rod is between 122.8-cm and 123.2-cm.
Assume that the height of a type of tree has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 85.9 ft and a standard deviation of 9.4 ft. A tree of this type grows in my backyard and it stands 59.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter. My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 74.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers. Enter your answers as decimals accurate to 3 decimal places.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for the airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150 and 191 pounds. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 158 pounds and a standard deviation or 31.1 pounds. a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb. b. If 38 pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb. what is the approximate probability? c. When redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant? part b because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important part b because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important Part a because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important part a because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. please show solving steps and if possible tell me how to also get these answers through excel…
An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.57 ppm and a standard deviation of 3 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 11 printers. Part i) Suppose the number of printers drawn is quadrupled. How will the standard deviation of sample mean printing speed change? O A. It will decrease by a factor of 4. OB. It will increase by a factor of 4. O C. It will increase by a factor of 2. O D. It will decrease by a factor of 2. OE. It will remain unchanged.

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 129 lb and a standard deviation of 27.3 lb. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 181 lb. The probability is approximately nothing
