An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1200 lb-8 passengers. So, 8 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1200 /8 = 150 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 8 adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have mean weight greater than 150 lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 160 lb and a standard deviation of 29 Ib.) Does this elevator appear to be safe?

A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The quality control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have a mean length of 8cm with a standard deviation of 0.05 cm. For what length will a bolt be destroyed?
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
Justin and Robbie are golfers. The distribution of Justin's golf scores has a mean of 225 and a standard deviation of 25. Robbie's golf score distribution has a mean of 240 and a standard deviation of 15. Both distributions are approximately normal and they are completely independent of each other. What is the closest probability that Justin will have a higher golf score than Robbie in a randomly selected golf round?
Suppose that you are designing an instrument panel for a large industrial machine. The machine requires the person using it to reach 2 feet from a particular position. The reach from this position for adult women is known to have a mean of 2.7 feet with a standard deviation of 0.5. The reach for adult men is known to have a mean of 3.1 feet with a standard deviation of 0.7. Both women's and men's reach from this position is normally distributed. If this design is implemented, (a) what percentage of women will not be able to work on this instrument panel? (b) What percentage of men will not be able to work on this instrument panel?
