A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with an orange juice. In fact, the contents of bottles vary according to a normal distribution with mean u = 298 ml and standard deviation a = 3 ml. The probability of bottles that contain less than 301.12 ml is equal to: (a) 0.0158. (b) 0.1492. (c) 0.8508 (d) None of the above.

The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.75 and standard deviations 0.50. What us probability of acid rain
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

Suppose a life insurance company sells a $170,000 1-year term life insurance policy to a 20-year-old female for $170. According to the National Vital Statistics Report, 58(21), the probability that the female survives the year is 0.999544. The expected value of this policy to the insurance company is $92.48. What is the standard deviation of the value of the life insurance policy? Why is the value so high?
The blood sugar levels of a person follows a normal curve with an average of 4.7mmol/L and a standard deviation of 1.4. In 2014, it is estimated that 8.5% of people around the world have diabetes. For the following questions: 1. Indicate whether the distribution to be used in answering the problem is a normal distribution 2. If yes, solve for the probability a. The probability of getting a random person with a high blood sugar level greater than 7mmol/L. b. The probability of getting a random sample of 150 people with less than 10% having diabetes c. The probability of getting a random sample of 60 people with less than 9% having diabetes d. The probability of getting a random sample of 150 people with a mean blood sugar level less than 5mmol/L. e. The probability of getting a random sample of 25 people with a mean of blood sugar level greater than 4.5mmol/L.
Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (l.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is = 7.4.t A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 31 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.8 with sample standard deviations = 3.3. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. A USE SALT (a) What is the level of significance?

The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by how much oxygen the athlete takes in (which is recorded in milliliters per kilogram, ml/kg). The mean maximum oxygen uptake for elite athletes has been found to be 65 with a standard deviation of 10. Assume that the distribution is approximately normal. (a) What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at least 50 ml/kg? answer: (b) What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of 60 ml/kg or lower? answer: (c) Consider someone with a maximum oxygen uptake of 31 ml/kg. Is it likely that this person is an elite athlete? Write "YES" or "NO." answer:

A certain brand of automobile tire has a life expectancy that is normally distributed with a mean of µ= 20000 miles and standard deviation of o= 2500miles. What is the probability that a randomly chosen tire will last for 20000 miles or more? Select one: a. 0.1047 O b. 0.5 O c. 0.1784 O d. 0.1064
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with μ = 85 and σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. What is the probability that, for an adult under 50 years old, after a 12-hour fast, x is more than 60?
