8. 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. A Brother brand printer can print an average of 17.21 ppm and a standard deviation of 4 pages and its printer speed is also normally distributed. You select 10 of each printer at random. What is the probability that mean Brother print speed is at least 2 pages faster than the mean HP print speed?

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150lb and 201lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 157 lb and a standard deviation of 32.5lb. a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120lb and 181lb. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 31 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 120lb and 181lb. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
