The weight of competition pumpkins at the Circleville Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, can be represented by a normal distribution with a mean of 703 pounds and a standard deviation of 347 pounds. Find the probability that a randomly selected pumpkin weighs at least 1,622 pounds. Find the probability that a randomly selected pumpkin weighs between 465.1 and 1,622 pounds.

A professor of statistics noticed that the marks in his course are normally distributed. He also noticed that his morning classes average 73% with a standard deviation of 12% on their final exams. His afternoon classes average 79% with a standard deviation of 11%. A. What is the probability that a randomly selected student in the morning class has a higher final exam mark than a randomly selected student from an afternoon class? Probability = B. What is the probability that the mean mark of four randomly selected students from a morning class is greater than the average mark of four randomly selected students from an afternoon class?
