A set of exam scores is normally distributed and has a mean of 79.3 and a standard deviation of 7.4. You choose a random score from the data set and the probability of getting a score less than or equal to this is 0.0078. What was the test score you randomly chose?

The lifespans of lizards in particular zoo are normally distributed. The average lizard lives 3.1 yearsthe standard deviation is 0.6 years. Find the probability that the lizards live longer than 3.1 years or less than 2.5 yearsHint: Draw and label a normal curve and use the percentages of the standard deviations. Write your answer using only numbers and do not include units. For example 95.3% would be entered as 95.3
You have a sample of 48 randomly selected Vancouverites. On average (the sample mean), the people in your sample spent 425 hours eating food in 2020. The least time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 367 hours and the most time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 484 hours. What would be your best guess about the population standard deviation of the time a Vancouverite spent eating food in 2020? Give the number and explain (including assumptions you make about the population distribution).
