A study conducted by the child mine institute found that children spend on average 5.5 minutes in outdoor unstructured play per day with a standard deviation of 1.24 minutes per day. Let x = the amount of time that a randomly selected child spends in outdoor unstructured play per day. The probability distribution of X is approximately normal. Find p(x>8)

Assume that the height of a type of tree has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 85.9 ft and a standard deviation of 9.4 ft. A tree of this type grows in my backyard and it stands 59.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter. My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 74.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers. Enter your answers as decimals accurate to 3 decimal places.
A normal probability plot suggests the data could come from a population that is normally distributed. A boxplot does not show any outliers. Does the sample evidence suggest that calcium concentrations have changed since 1990? Use the a=0.01 level of significance.
A report claimed that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assuming the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If 40 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean of the number of hours they watch television will be greater than 26.3 hours.

Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 3.0 minutes and standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n¡ = 47 customers in the first line and n2 = 49 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X1 and the mean service time for the longer one X2 is more than 0.6 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = i

Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 4.0 minutes and standard deviation of 2.0 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 46 customers in the first line and n₂ = 52 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.3 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = !
