ALICE and YouGov conducted an online poll among Americans hotel guests of more than 18 years old to understand their expectations from hotels in the year 2018-191. This poll showed that 40% of guests were interested in gaining experiences of local cuisine tastings/tours. Suppose you take a random sample of 10 hotel guests. Let, x, represent the number of guests interested in gaining experiences of local cuisine tastings/tours. Find the mean and standard deviation of x. What is the probability that x <=5? Find the probability that x > 7.

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1344lb long dash—8 passengers. So, 8 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1344 divided by 8 equals 168 pounds.1344/8=168 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 8 adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 168lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 171 lb and a standard deviation of 27 lb) Does this elevator appear to be safe? The probability the elevator is overloaded is____

4. Suppose that 60% of college students own a smart phone manufactured by Apple. If a random sample of 200 college students is selected, use the normal distribution to approximate the probability that the number of students in the sample owning a smartphone made by Apple will be less than 105. Is it reasonable to use the normal approximation here?
