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)

A gas supplier maintains a team of Engineers who are available to deal with leaks reported by customers. Most reported leaks can be dealt with quickly but some require a long time. The time (excluding travelling time) taken to deal with reported leaks is found to have a mean of 65 minutes and a standard deviation of 60 minutes. Assuming that the times may be modelled by a normal distribution, estimate the probability that: It will take more than 185 minutes to deal with a reported leak . It will take between 50 minutes and 125 minutes to deal with a reported leak.

Assume that the distribution of time spent on leisure activities by adults living in household with no young children is normally distributed with a mean of 4.5 hours per day and a standard deviation of 1.3 hours per day. Find the probability that the amount of time spent on leisure activities per day for a randomly selected adult from the population of interest is less than 6 hours per day.
The length of time it takes college students to find a parking spot in the library parking lot follows a normal distribution with a mean of 5.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 1 minute. Find the probability that a randomly selected college student will take between 3.5 and 6.0 minutes to find a parking spot in the library lot.
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?
