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.

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.
