The Australian sheep dog is a breed renowned for its intelligence and work ethic. It is estimated that 30% of adult Australian sheep dogs weigh 65 pounds (lbs) or more. A sample of 40 adult dogs is studied and follows a binomial distribution. Let X be a binomial random variable that represents the number of adult dogs in the sample who weigh 65 lb or more. a. Find the mean number of dogs in this sample who weigh 65 lb or more. Mean = b. Find the standard deviation of the number of dogs in the sample who weigh 65 lb or more. Round to three places. Standard deviation =
A large tank of fish from a hatchery is being delivered to a lake. The hatchery claims that the mean length of fish in the tank is 15 inches, and the standard deviation is 4 inches. A random sample of 26 fish is taken from the tank. Let x be the mean sample length of these fish. What is the probability that x is within 0.5 inch of the claimed population mean?

From a large consignment of clementine fruit destined for a UK supermarket the cus- toms office is making a check at the boarder. According to the sender the weight of the fruit belongs to an unknown distribution of mean 50 g and variance 16 g. If the cus- toms officer takes 100 fruits at random what is the probability that their total weight will be more than 5040 g. Justify any assumptions you make in your calculations.
