Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 57 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 57 tons and standard deviation ? = 1.2 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 56.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that 39 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 56.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Mileage data of new model cars follow a normal distribution with an average mileage of 26 mpg and a standard deviation of 7. Consider a sample of size 15 cars. What is the probability that the mean mileage of these selected cars is at most 27.5 mpg?
A study by the American Heart Association studied the distribution of birth weights for 1295 newborns (preterm babies excluded). They found that the birth weight of human babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 7.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.09 pounds. (a.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weighs more than 9 pounds at birth? (b.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weights between 6 and 8 pounds at birth? (c.) What is the 80th percentile for birth weight?
The weights of Australian Cattle Dogs are normally distributed with a mean of 25 kg and a standard deviation of 4 kg. What is the probability (%) that a randomly selected dog weighs between 23 kg and 32 kg?
Show neat and complete solution. (... The average fuel efficiency of U.S. light vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, vans, and light trucks) for 2005 was 21 miles per gallon (mpg). If the standard deviation of the population was 2.8 and the gas ratings were normally distributed, (a) what is the probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is under 18? (b) between 20 and 24? Given: Required: Solution: a. b.

Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 90 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 90 tons and standard deviation ? = 1.1 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 89.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that 39 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 89.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 62 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 62 tons and standard deviation ? = 0.5 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 61.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that 45 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 61.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) Suppose the weight of coal in one car was less than 61.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? YesNo Suppose the weight of coal in 45 cars selected at random had an average x of less than 61.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? Why? Yes, the probability that this…
