A person must score in the upper 2% of the population on an admissions test to qualify for membership in society catering to highly intelligent individuals. If test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 15, what is the minimum score a person must have to qualify for the society? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North American catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to American Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. Use the data below, which represents the summary statistics for 42 blue catfish caught at this reservoir, and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of the fish in the John H. Kerr Reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. n=42; ¯x=40.63 pounds; s=3.49 pounds a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?H0: H1: c) Identify the appropriate significance level.d) Calculate your test statistic.

In Statsville there’s a city-wide speed limit of 30 mph.If you are caught speeding the fine is $100 plus $10 forevery mile per hour you were over the speed limit. Forexample, if you’re ticketed for going 45 mph, your fine is100 + 10145 - 302 = +250. Last month all the driverswho were fined for speeding averaged 42 mph with astandard deviation of 7 mph. What were the mean andstandard deviation of the fines?A) $120 and $70 B) $220 and $7C) $220 and $70 D) $220 and $170E) $420 and $70

The distances golf balls travel under laboratory testing conditions are normally distributed. The mean is 312 yards. The probability the golf ball travels further than 319 yards is 0.28. Find the probability a randomly selected golf ball travels between 305 yards and 319 yards. Express the answer as a decimal value rounded to the nearest hundredth.
