3. The number of flaws per square yard in a type of carpet material varies, with mean 1.6 flaws per square yard and standard deviation 1.2 flaws per square yard. The distribution is not normal--in fact, it is discrete. An inspector studies 200 random square yards of the material, records the number of flaws found in each square yard, and calculates the mean number of flaws per square yard inspected. Use the central limit theorem to find the approximate probability that the mean number of flaws exceeds 2 per square yard.

A CNC (computer numerical control) machine produces iron automobile crankshafts. Samples are measured and the inner diameter are found to be 1.01, 0.97, 1.03, 1.04, 0.99, 0.98, 0.99, 1.01, and 1.03 centimeters. For all computations, assume an approximately normal distribution. The sample mean and standard deviation for the given data are = 1.0056, and s =0.0246. Find a 99% confidence interval on the mean of diameter.

Suppose a professor uses a normal distribution to assign grades in her math class. • She assigns an A to students scoring more than 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns an F to students scoring more than 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. She assigns a B to students who Score between 1 and 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns a D to students who Score between 1.2 and 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. • All other students get a C. Use the Cumulative Z-Score Table to answer the following questions. The Z-Score Table can be found below by selecting "Read". Write your answer as a percent using 2 decimal places. What percent of the class receives each grade assuming the scores are normally distributed? Hint % will recieve an A % will recieve a B % will recieve a C % will recieve a D % will recieve an F

Suppose NCSU students’ heights are normally distributed, with a mean height of 70in (5’10”) and a standard deviation of 4in.1. Calculate the Z score that can be used to assess the proportion of NCSU students shorter than 68 in.2. Calculate the Z score that can be used to assess the probability of obtaining a random sample of 100 NCSU students with average height less than 68 in.3. The standard normal distribution table is needed to tell exactly the proportion of NCSU students shorter than 68in and the probability of obtaining a random sample of 100 NCSU students with average height less than 68in. Can you tell whether they are the same?4. I draw a random sample of 121 NCSU freshmen. The sample’s average height is 71in, and standard deviation is 4in.
