A machine at Katz Steel Corporation makes 5-inch-long nails. The probability distribution of the lengths of these nails is approximately normal with a mean of 5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.10 inch. The quality control inspector takes a' sample of 25 nails once a week and calculates the mean length of these nails. If the mean of this sample is either less than 4.95 inches or greater than 5.05 inches, the inspector concludes that the machine needs an adjustment. What is the probability that based on a sample of 25 nails, the inspector will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. .0062 Probability = the tolerance is +/-2%

A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.
