Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the probability of obtaining a reading between 0°C and 2.679°C.
The average price of a kilogram of ham is P1,300. Assume that the standard deviation is P150. If a random sample of 30 one-kilogram packages is selected, find the probability that the mean sample will be less than P1,160. Show the complete solution.
Two devices are used to measure the length of beam. If the true length of the beam is L, the measurement error made by one device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.006L, and the measurement error made by the other device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.004L. The two measurement errors are independent of each other. What is the probability that the average value of the two measurements, (E, + E,)/2, is within 0.5% of L? Note that this problem can be done using the attached table of the cdf of the standard normal random variable.
