Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 53 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean u = 53 tons and standard deviation o = 1.3 ton. n USE SALT (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 52.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that 42 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 52.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with mean of 5.5 days and a standard deviation of 1.7 days. What is probability of spending morethan4 days in recovery?
Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 70 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean u = 70 tons and standard deviation o = 1.4 ton. n USE SALT (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 69.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that 30 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 69.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Suppose the weight of coal in one car was less than 69.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? O Yes O No Suppose the weight of coal in 30 cars selected at random had an average x of less than 69.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? Why? O Yes, the probability that…
Using diaries for many weeks, a study on the lifestyles of visually impaired students was conducted. The students kept track of many lifestyle variables including how many hours of sleep obtained on a typical day. Researchers found that visually impaired students averaged 8.17 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 1.29 hours. Assume that the number of hours of sleep for these visually impaired students is normally distributed. (a) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets less than 6.6 hours of sleep? (b) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets between 6.4 and 9.53 hours of sleep?
