Anna and Stina are javelin throwers. On average, they throw 54.5 m respectively 51.2 m under prevailing conditions. There is an uncertainty that their results can be described with independent normal distributions. The standard deviations are 3.5 (for Anna) and 7.1 (for Stina). Assume that Anna and Stina each make their own throw. What is the probability that Stina's throws is further than Anna'

Christopher has collected data to find that the total snowfall per year in Laytonville has a normal distribution. What is the probability that in a randomly selected year, the snowfall was greater than 53 inches if the mean is 92 inches and the standard deviation is 13 inches? Use the empirical rule.
Two devices are used to measure the length of beam. If the true length of the beam is L, the measurement error made by one device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.006L, and the measurement error made by the other device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.004L. The two measurement errors are independent of each other. What is the probability that the average value of the two measurements, (E, + E,)/2, is within 0.5% of L? Note that this problem can be done using the attached table of the cdf of the standard normal random variable.
Leave all probabilities as percentages, define x on all problems with data. Simple random samples of high interest (8.9%) and low interest (6.3%) mortgages were obtained. For the 40 high interest mortgages, the borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 594.8 and a standard deviation of 12.2. For the 40 low interest mortgages, borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 785.2 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Use an alpha level of 0.01, and a two tailed test of hypothesis to test the claim that the mean FICO score borrowers with a high interest mortgage is the same as the mean FICO score of borrowers with the low interest mortgage.

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.
