Someone once dropped a 'mint imperial", a type of sweet, from the top of a multi-story car park and it landed on my grandmother's head. The average speed of a falling mint imperial is 4 m/s and the velocity is a Gaussian distribution with standard deviation 0.25 m/s. If a mint travelling faster than 5 m/s causes injury, what is the chance my grandmother was injured? In fact she was fine, but very annoyed.

If the power received at the MU is lognormal with standard deviation of 9dB, the outage probability can be expressed as erfc(x)/2. determine the value of x given the average power received is -97dBm and the threshold power is -101dBm.
From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 38 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? (i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)? =

The daily price of orange juice 30-day futures is normally distributed. InMarch through April 2007, the mean was 145.5 cents per pound, and standarddeviation = 25.0 cents per pound.4 Assuming the price is independent from day today, find P (x < 100) on the next day.
A critical communications relay has a constant failure rate of 0.1 per day. Once it has failed, the mean time to repair is 2.5 days (the repair rate is constant). Calculate the interval availability over a 2-day mission (starting at time zero) and the point availability at the end of the 2 days.
A certain variable has a bell-shaped distribution with mean μ=176.16μ=176.16 and standard deviation σ=4.9σ=4.9. You observe a value of x=184x=184. Is this a TYPICAL value of the variable (within 2 standard deviations of the mean), or an UNUSUAL one (more than 2 standard deviations from the mean)?
