Let T = the total time it takes Professor Sawyer to get to his classroom and be ready to begin class. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of T.
Suppose that you have a hat that contains slips of paper. Each slip of paper has a single number from 1-5 written on it. There are as many slips of paper with a given number as the square of that number, so 16 slips with the number 4, 9 slips with the number 3, and so on. A person is selected to draw a number at random from the hat. Let the random variable X = the number drawn from the hat. Find the mean and the variance of X

The director of research and development is testing a new drug. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the drug stays in the system for more than 312 minutes. For a sample of 69 patients, the mean time the drug stayed in the system was 319 minutes. Assume the variance is known to be 400. Enter the decision rule. Reject Ho if z >_______
see the photo for details A civil engineering student has delivered a cylinder of concrete for the "concrete strength competition" held between universities. The strength of the student's concrete cylinder is normally dispersed with N(4X0, 9X) kN (write the last number of your student number instead of X). For example, if the last number of your student number is 4, the normal distribution will be N(440.94). The student will compete in the last place in the competition and until that point the two highest strengths in the competition are 500 kN and 350 kN. What are the odds of the student coming second in the competition? The student's cylinder is being tested and under a load of 450 kN the cylinder has shown no signs of breaking. What are the chances of the student winning first place?
