Assume that the weights of all packages of a certain brand of cookies are normally distrib- uted with a mean of 32 ounces and a standard deviation of .3 ounce. Find the probability that the mean weight, x, of a random sample of 20 packages of this brand of cookies will be be- tween 31.8 and 31.9 ounces.

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.

For runners competing in a marathon, the mean time to run a mile is 4.2 minutes with a population standard deviation of 0.6 minutes. A news reporter is looking to include statistics for his article about fast runners. At a marathon, a random sample of 31 runners was taken and the probability that the mean time to run a mile for the sample will be less than 3.9minutes was found. Was the probability a left-tail, right -tail or two-tail probability? What is the probability that the mean time to run a mile for the sample will be less than 3.9 minutes? Select the two correct answers that apply below. You may use a calculator or the portion of the z-table given below. Round your answer to three decimal places if necessary.
