The lengths of home runs hit by players for the Mets have approximately a normal distribution with μ = 399 feet and a standard deviation of σ=31.16 feet. Suppose that we randomly select 81 home runs hit by players of the Mets. Let X be the random variable representing the mean length of home runs in feet and let Xtot be the random variable representing the sum of the lengths of the home runs in feet for the 81 selected home runs. d) About how many of the 81 sampled home runs have length between 400 and 420 feet? (nearest integer) e) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of X? f) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of Xtot?
A) When the weight of a parcel of oranges was measured, it was observed that the average 200 grams and standard deviation of 25 grams fit the normal distribution. This package contains 500 oranges. What is the probability that an orange selected from a carton is between 216 g and 234 g? (Including 216 g and 234 g) B) When the weight of a parcel of oranges was measured, it was observed that the average 200 grams and standard deviation of 25 grams fit the normal distribution. 12 out of 500 oranges in this package were under a certain weight and could not pass the test. How many grams or less did oranges fail the test? C) When the weight of a parcel of oranges was measured, it was observed that the average 190 grams and standard deviation of 25 grams fit the normal distribution. 9 out of 500 oranges in this package were under a certain weight and could not pass the test.

9. Measurements of the diameters of a random sample of 13 ball bearings made by machine X during one week showed a mean of 8.22 mm and a standard deviation of 0.38 mm. However, other measurements of the diameters of a random sample of 11 ball bearings made by machine Y during the same week showed a mean of 7.68 mm and a standard deviation of 0.42 mm. Assuming the diameters are normally distributed with equal variance, a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the true mean diameters of ball bearings made by the two machines. b) Based on your answer in part (a), are you 99% confident that the true mean diameters of ball bearings made by machines X and Y are not equal? Justify your answer.
