(a) Based on a recent study, the monthly utility bills for three-room flats in Singapore can be assumed to be normally distributed with mean $135 and standard deviation $42. If a household living in a three-room flat is randomly selected, i. What is the probability that its utility bill is more than $155 ii. What is the probability that its utility bill is between $129 and $165? ii. If 20% of the utility bills for households living in three-room flats are above a certain value V, find the value of V.

PLS. Solve Quickly Applications Problems According to a Sallie Mae survey and credit bureau data, in 2008, college students carried an average of $3173 debt on their credit cards (USA TODAY, April 13, 2009). Suppose that cur- rent credit card debts for all college students have a normal distribution with a mean of $3173 and a standard deviation of $800. Find the probability that credit card debt for a randomly se- lected college student is between $2109 and $3605.
According to College Board, the average out-of-state tuition for a four-year public college was $8,893 for the 2013-2014 academic year. There are a total of 629 four-year public institutions in the U.S. Assume that the standard deviation for the tuition for these colleges is $950. A random sample of 60 four-year public colleges was selected. What is the probability that the average tuition from this sample is less than $9,000?
