In a certain vaccination site, the service time for individuals before they were given a vaccine shot is modeled as a random variable X with mean μ=90 seconds and variance σ2=9 minutes2. Assuming that the service times for each individual are independent and identically distributed, determine the probability of vaccinating 400 individuals within 9 hours.

Suppose that the distribution of the lifetime of a car battery produced by a certain car company is well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 1900 hours and variance 104. What is the approximate probability that a batch of 100 car batteries will contain at least 20 whose lifetimes are less than 1801 hours?
Two 5-year girls, Alyse and Jocelyn, have been training to run a 1-mile race. Alyse's 1 mile time A is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 13.5 and standard deviation of 2.5 minutes. Jocelyn's 1-mile time J is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 12 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Assuming A and J are independent random variables, what is the probability that Alyse has a smaller time than Jocelyn in a 1 mile race on a randomly selected day?
The number of employed persons in Mexico between 2009 and 2019 can be modeled as a random variable with mean 52269218 employed persons and variance of 7607951381613.1 persons2.The mean of the X-bar sample will be obtained from a random sample of 44 data.What is the probability that X-bar will fall between 51,559,018 and 53,539,565?
Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a variance of 7.847.84 and a mean diameter of 201201 inches. If 8989 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by more than 0.20.2 inches? Round your answer to four decimal places.
A nail is needed to hang up a 50 lb painting on a wall. A technician has two nails in his pocket, where the probability that both nails meet the specific weight of the painting is 50%, the probability that only one of them meets the specific weight is 20%, and the probability that neither of them meets the specific weight is 30%. If the number of nails that meet the specification is a random variable, find the variance of the data of that random variable.

Find the variance and standard deviation Find the probability that exactly two cars will use the drive-through window Find the probability that at least three cars will use the drive-through window
The burning life (in hours) of electric lamps installed in a street of a city follows a normal distribution with an average of 120 burning hours and variance of 54000 square minutes. Find the probability of the electric lamps that are likely to burn for more than 110 hours more than 5124 minutes and less than 7450 minutes
The nation of Olecarl, located in the South Pacific, has asked you to analyze international trade patterns. You first discover that each year it exports 10 units and im- ports 10 units of wonderful stuff. The price of exports is a random variable with a mean of 100 and a vari- ance of 100. The price of imports is a random variable with a mean of 90 and a variance of 400. In addition, you discover that the prices of imports and exports have a correlation of r = -0.40. The prices of both ex- ports and imports follow a normal probability density function. Define the balance of trade as the difference between the total revenue from exports and the total cost of imports. What are the mean and variance of the balance of trade? What is the probability that the balance oft trade is negative?
