Manufacture of a certain component requires three different machining operations. Machining time for each operation has a normal distribution, and the three times are independent of one another. The mean values are 15, 20, and 30 min, respectively, and the standard deviations are 1, 2, and 1.4 min, respectively. What is the probability that it takes at most 1 hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.

Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. She tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that 24% of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium. If a second health professional tests 66 eggs at random, what is the probability that exactly 14 test positive for salmonella? Use a normal distribution to approximate the answer and write it as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Many consumers pay careful attention to stated nutritional contents on packaged foods when making purchases, so it is important that the information on packages be accurate. Suppose that a random sample of n = 12 frozen dinners of a certain type was selected and the calorie content of each one was determined. Below are the resulting observations, along with a boxplot and normal probability plot.
