In a murder trial in Los Angeles, a shoe expert stated that the heights of men with size 12 shoes is normally distributed with a mean of 73.5 inches, and a standard deviation of 1 inch. What is the probability that a randomly selected man with a size 12 shoe has a height outside the range 71-75 inches?

Researchers doing a study comparing time spent on social media and time spent on studying randomly sampled 200 students at a major university. They found that students in the sample spent an average of 2.3 hours per day on social media and an average of 2.17 hours per day on studying. If all the students at the university in fact spent 2.2 hours per day on studying, with a standard deviation of 2 hours, the probability of getting a sample average of 2.17 or less is: a. 0.0023. b. 0.9932. c. 0.5792. d. 0.4160.
In a recently conducted study, families reported using an average of 70 gallons of gasoline per month with a standard deviation of 8 gallons. If a family is chosen at random, what is the probability that it uses between 61 and 79 gallons of gasoline per month? Assume the data is normally distributed.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 140 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 145 lb and a standard deviation of 27.5 lb. If 39 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 140 lb and 191lb.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 140 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 148 lb and a standard deviation of 30.8 lb. If 34 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 140 lb and 191 lb.
Suppose that you are studying the number of vehicles owned by a US household. You find that the average is 1.9 vehicles per household with a standard deviation of 2.8 vehicles per household. What is the most likely shape for the population described above? Find the probability that 40 randomly selected households have an AVERAGE number of vehicles greater than 2.5.
The amount of money that college students spend on food each week during the academic year is normally distributed with a mean of $31.28 and a standard deviation of $11.42 What is the probability that one randomly selected student will spend less than $25 per week on food? If you randomly select 10 students, what is the probability that their mean will be less than $25?

What is the probability that a randomly selected worker from the city earns between $38.00 and $40.00 per hour? b. What is the probability that the combined hourly pay of 5 randomly selected workers from the city is between $190 and $200 per hour? c. What is the probability that the hourly pay for all 5 randomly selected workers is not between $38 and $40 per hour?
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lband a standard deviation of 29.6 lb. b. If 38 different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 130 lb and 181 lb.
