A calling agency has data showing that the average response time is 5.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.8.The manager wants to know how much time is required for 75% of all calls to be handled(in other words,the value below which 3/4 of response times fall). First find the Z-score and then use the Z-score formula,but solve for X given a particular value of Z)

to qualify for a police academy, applicants are given a test of physical fitness. The scores are normally distributed with a mean of 66 and a standard deviation of 10 . If only the top 13% of the applicants are selected, find the cutoff score. Round z-value calculations to 2 decimal places and the final answer up to the nearest whole number. Cutoff score

Suppose that the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways are normally distributed with a mean of 60 miles/hour. The highway patrol's policy is to issue tickets for cars with speeds exceeding 80 miles/hour. The records show that exactly 5% of the speeds exceed this limit. Find the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least one decimal place.
A clinic finds that the average patient stay is 5.7 hours with a standard deviation of 1.8. If a patient has a relative stay of 2.4, find how many hours the patient was in the clinic. Give a 2-decimal answer
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in African-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher retains the null hypothesis, so she therefore concludes...

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 562 grams and a standard deviation of 31 grams. If you pick 7 fruits at random, then 13% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams? Give your answer to the nearest gram.
Assume that we have made 10 repeated measurements of a quantity, and as a result the error assigned to the “best estimate” of the mean is 6. If we then expand our data set to a total of 20 measurements, the error in the mean will reduce to just 3. True or False
