The average systolic blood pressure of a population of youngmen is mean of population= 112.5 mm, a standard deviation= 16.4 mm. Prehypertension is defined as having systolic pressure between 120 and 139. Calculatethe z-score for a systolic pressure of 139.
Research at the SA weather centre in the Northern Cape recorded the number days the weather reached 38°C, first recorded in 1875. The numbers form a normal distribution with a mean of µ = 9.6 and a standard deviation of σ = 1.9. To see if the data showed any evidence of global warming, they also computed the average number of days (M = 12.25) the temperature reached 38°C, over the last 4 years. Do the data indicate that the past 4 years have had significantly more 38°C days that would be expected for any random sample from this population? Use a one tailed test with α = 0.05.

Attenuation is the reduction of the amplitude of a signal, electric current, or other oscillation. With maximum attenuation, a scanner will not be able to read a bar code at a fixed distance. After substantial amount of data collection, a group of instrumentation engineers decided to model a variation of maximum attenuation of scanners as a normal distribution with a mean of 10.1 decibels and standard deviation of 2.7, same unit. What proportion of the products have maximum attenuation greater than 15.1 dB? 0.0718 none of these 0.0322 0.0214

Someone once dropped a 'mint imperial", a type of sweet, from the top of a multi-story car park and it landed on my grandmother's head. The average speed of a falling mint imperial is 4 m/s and the velocity is a Gaussian distribution with standard deviation 0.25 m/s. If a mint travelling faster than 5 m/s causes injury, what is the chance my grandmother was injured? In fact she was fine, but very annoyed.
