3. An airline has a baggage weight limit of 50 lb. Suppose that the weight of the baggage checked by an individual passenger is a random variable x with a mean value of 49 lb. If 110 passengers will board a flight, what is the approximate probability that the mean weight for this sample of passengers will exceed the limit if the standard deviation of the baggage weight for this group is 23 lb. ?

Normal Distribution Problem: A certain component for the newly developed electronic diesel engine is considered to be defective if its diameter is less than 8 mm or greater than 10.5 mm. The distributions of the diameters of these parts is known to be normal with a mean of 9.0 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. If a component is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be defective? Q: Do I add the Right and Left tails and that's my total probability of defectiveness? Or, Do I take the Normal.Dist (from Excel) to the left of 10.5 minus the N.D left of 8 for a total of .588852 probability that it will be defective (that's a lot)? Please help! And, thank you in advance!

A large corporation employs 21780 individuals. The average income of all employees is $80877, with a standard deviation of $16560 and is skewed to the right. Consider this to be the population distribution. You are given a data set consisting of the incomes of 180 randomly selected employees. - The population mean is u == • The population standard deviation is o = • The sample size is n = • Since the sample size is relatively large, the Central Limit Theorem tells us that the sample averages should have a sampling distribution that is (O skewed to the rightO approximately normal). The sampling distribution of the sample means is centered at the (O populationO sample) mean. • The sampling distribution has a standard deviation of SD = Round to two decimal places. Submit Question
A large corporation employs 37525 individuals. The average income of all employees is $76294, with a standard deviation of $17726 and is skewed to the right. Consider this to be the population distribution. You are given a data set consisting of the incomes of 140 randomly selected employees. The population mean is μ=μ= The population standard deviation is σ=σ= The sample size is n=n= Since the sample size is relatively large, the Central Limit Theorem tells us that the sample averages should have a sampling distribution that is (skewed to the rightapproximately normal). The sampling distribution of the sample means is centered at the (populationsample) mean. The sampling distribution has a standard deviation of SD=σ√n=SD=σn= . Round to two decimal places.
