The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

Suppose that among salmon fish that are longer than 80cm, their weights have a mean of 6.4kg and a standard deviation of 0.5kg. The wholesale price per kg for these salmon fish is $9.46. The fishing company supplies freshly caught salmon to a local restaurant. The restaurant just placed an order for 120 salmon fish. If the fishing company randomly selects 120 salmon that are longer than 80cm for the restaurant, find the probability that the total wholesale price of the 120 salmon exceeds $7,350.
