In a certain book, the frequency distribution for the number of words per page may betaken as approximately normal with mean 800 and standard deviation 50. If 3 pages are chosen at random,what is the probability that none of them has between 830 and 845 words each?

A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 12.4. In his class, an "A" is any exam score of 90 or higher. This quarter she has 25 students in her class. What is the probability that 7 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?
Suppose the heights of a group of people follow a normal distribution with a mean of 170 cm and a standard deviation of 10 cm. If 25% of the people are shorter than 160 cm, what is the minimum height required to be in the tallest 10% of the group? If a sample of 50 people is randomly selected from the group, what is the probability that their average height is between 168 and 172 cm?
Suppose the average amount of money that people spend on their pets per month is 47 dollars, with a standard deviation of 6 dollars. For a sample of 36 people, final the average amount of money spent on pets that defines the bottom 30% in the distribution.For a sample of 36 people, what is the probability for this sample’s mean to be higher than 50 dollars.
Suppose that 10 students have taken an exam and that the mean and median scores are both 60. (Since 10 is an even number you can assume that two scores in the middle are both 60.) Two more students take it and one scores 70 and the other scores 26. If these students are now included, what is the new mean? What is the new median?
A food safety engineer has discovered that a food warmer has temperature problems. While they set up the temperature at 78c, it heats with the mean of 78c but a standard deviation of 2c. The problem is that any food that drops below 74c can create food poison for the consumers. What is the probability of having non-standard food from this food warmer? In other words, what proportion of food can be a health hazard? (Use the number only without any extra character or % sign)
University students' blood pressure can be expected to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 85 mmHG and a standard deviation of 20 mmHG.If a university student is chosen at random, what is the probability that the blood pressure will range from 85 to 90 mmHG?
11. If the scores for an IQ Test have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, find the probability of a student having an IQ score that will fall below 112.
The NJ Department of Health has reported the average life span of NJ residents is 81 years. If the standard deviation is σ = 4 years, what is the probability of a person living to at least 92 years of age?
A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.
