An experiment investigated whether the stem diameters of a tulip would change depending on whether the plant was left swinging freely in the wind or was artificially supported. Suppose that the unsupported stem diameters of the tulip plant have a normal distribution with an average diameter of 25 mm(millimetres) and a standard deviation of 2 mm. a) If two tulip plants are randomly selected, what is the probability that both plants will have a stem diameter of more than 28 mm? b) Suppose the papulation mean of unsupported stem diameter of the tulip plant is unknown with a standard deviation of 2 mm, and the probability that unsupported stem diameter of the tulip plant is more than 22 mm is 99%. Calculate the population mean of unsupported stem diameter of the tulip plant. c) It is known from historical records that the proportion of artificially supported tulip plants that have a stem diameter change is forty two percent. If a sample of 140 artificially supported tulip plants are selected at random, what is the probability that more than thirty percent of the artificially supported tulip plants are with a changed diameter?

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 159 lb and a standard deviation of 32.6 lb. If 34 different pilots are randomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb the probability is approximately
Suppose that the miles-per-gallon rating of passenger cars is a normally distributed random variable with a mean and a standard deviation of 38.8 mpg and 4.1 mpg, respectively. What is the probability that a randomly selected passenger car gets at least 45 mpg? What is the probability that a randomly selected passenger car gets between 35 and 40 mpg? An automobile manufacturer wants to build a new passenger car with an mpg rating that improves upon 99% of existing cars. What is the minimum mpg that would achieve this goal?

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 129 lb and a standard deviation of 27.3 lb. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 181 lb. The probability is approximately nothing
The amount that households pay service providers for access to the Internet varies depending on the speed the household is looking for. It is determined the distribution is slightly skewed right with a mean monthly fee is $38 and a standard deviation of $10. Many households pay about $20 for limited broadband speed or about $40 for faster broadband speed, but some pay much more for lighting fast broadband speeds. a) Can you find the probability of a randomly selected household paying more than $40 for internet? Explain. b) AT&T has just released a new coverage area. AT&T hopes the new coverage area will help them increase their monthly profit by a minimum of $2000. What is the probability that the total amount of profit for 50 randomly selected households exceeds $2000?

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?
A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?
