A park ranger at a large national park wants to estimate the mean diameter of all the aspen trees in the park. The park ranger believes that due to environmental changes, the aspen trees are not growing as large as they were in 1975. ) Data collected in 1975 indicate that the distribution of diameter for aspen trees in this park was approximately normal with a mean of 8 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. Find the approximate probability that a randomly selected aspen tree in this park in 1975 would have a diameter less than 5.5 inches.

The Michelin tires in average will last for 60000 miles. A technician claims that the deviation of mileage for wearied off tires is 25000 miles. If 16 such tires are tested, find the probability that for those tires the average wearied off mileage is between 55000 and 65000 miles.
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 696 grams and a standard deviation of 25 grams. If you pick 26 fruits at random, then 4% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams? Give your answer to the nearest gram.
In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 8. Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D. The lowest score that would qualify a student for an A is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a B is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a C is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a D is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.)
For a certain type of computers, the length of time between charges of the battery is normally distributed with a mean of 62 hours and a standard deviation of 11 hours. John owns one of these computers and wants to know the number of hours when the computer would have 12% of its battery life left. Sketch the region in question. Write a sentence describing what your answer represents about the problem's specefics.
Suppose that on a certain section of I-95, with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour, the speeds of all vehicles have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 72 mph and a standard deviation of 3 mph. Find the percentage of vehicles with the following speeds on this section of I-95: greater than 75 mph.
The null hypothesis: H, :0 The alternative hypothesis: H :0 The type of test statistic: (Choose one) v The value of the test statistic: (Round to at least three decimal places.) The critical value at the 0.05 level of significance: (Round to at least three decimal places.)

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous fortrout. Suppose that a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in PyramidLake is μ = 20 inches. However, the Creel survey reported that for a random sample of 27fish caught, the mean length was 22.1 inches with a sample standard deviation of 4.3inches. Does this data indicate that the average length of trout caught at Pyramid Lake ismore than 20 inches? Use α = 0.05.a. State the null hypothesis. ___________ State the alternative hypothesis. ________________b. Find the test statistic. ______ c. Find the P-value for the test._____________
According to the historical data, the life expectancy in the United States is less than or equal to the life expectancy in Ireland. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 235 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random. The 235 individuals lived an average of 77.6 years with a standard deviation of 6.7 years. Records of 220 individuals from Ireland who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 220 individuals lived an average of 76.3 years with a standard deviation of 5.5 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of the life expectancies can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.1 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the life expectancy, u,, in the United States is greater than the life expectancy, µ, in Ireland? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry…
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The quality control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have a mean length of 8cm with a standard deviation of 0.05 cm. For what length will a bolt be destroyed?
