Admission to a gifted school is accepted if a candidate has an IQ greater than 131.8. A total of 11 candidates took an IQ test and the summary of their results showed that the average IQ score was 133. IQ scores in the general population follow a normal distribution with average 100 and standard deviation 16. a) if a person is selected at random from the general population, find the probability that that person has an IQ score of at least 131.8. b) if 11 people are selected at random, find the probability that the average score of this group is at least 131.8. c) can we say, without a doubt, that all candidates are eligible for admission to that school?

Exam scores of a stat distribution are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. a) If the professor wants to give A's to the top 10% of the students, what should be the cutoff point for an A? b) If there are 9 students in the class, what is the probability that the average score would be more than 75?
Suppose that unknown to a geneticist, there are 6 out of 12 genes that play a significant role in developing skin cancer. If the geneticist randomly samples 5 of these 12 genes and studies them, the probability that he will have sampled more than 4 skin cancer related genes is Note: Provide your answer in three decimal points e.g. 0.001
An automatic machine in a manufacturing process is operating properly if the lengths of an important subcomponent are normally distributed with a mean of 119 cm and a standard deviation of 5.7 cm. A. Find the probability that one selected subcomponent is longer than 121 cm. Probability = B. Find the probability that if 4 subcomponents are randomly selected, their mean length exceeds 121 cm. Probability = C. Find the probability that if 4 are randomly selected, all 4 have lengths that exceed 121 cm. Probability =

A random sample of 40 computer chips is drawn from population and the weight of each recorded. A previous study showed that the population mean weight was 0.8 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.1 ounces. What is the probability that the sample has a mean weight between 0.75 and 0.90 ounces?

An automatic machine in a manufacturing process is operating properly if the lengths of an important subcomponent are normally distributed with a mean of 115 cm and a standard deviation of 5.5 cm. A. Find the probability that one selected subcomponent is longer than 117 cm. Probability = B. Find the probability that if 4 subcomponents are randomly selected, their mean length exceeds 117 cm. Probability = C. Find the probability that if 4 are randomly selected, all 4 have lengths that exceed 117 cm. Probability =
