In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities. More than a decade ago, high levels of lead in the blood put 90% of children at risk. A concerted effort was made to remove lead from the environment. Now, suppose only 11% of children in the United States are at risk of high blood-lead levels. (a) In a random sample of 198 children taken more than a decade ago, what is the probability that 50 or more had high blood-lead levels? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) In a random sample of 198 children taken now, what is the probability that 50 or more have high blood-lead levels? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

#5: 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 1100 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 1010 hours?

About 26% of ice cream sales are vanilla. Chocolate accounts for only 10% of ice cream sales. Suppose that 168 customers go to a grocery store in Cheyenne, Wyoming, today to buy ice cream. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that 50 or more will buy vanilla?(b) What is the probability that 12 or more will buy chocolate?(c) A customer who buys ice cream is not limited to one container or one flavor. What is the probability that someone who is buying ice cream will buy chocolate or vanilla? Hint: Chocolate flavor and vanilla flavor are not mutually exclusive events. Assume that the choice to buy one flavor is independent of the choice to buy another flavor. Then use…

Normal Distribution Problem: A certain component for the newly developed electronic diesel engine is considered to be defective if its diameter is less than 8 mm or greater than 10.5 mm. The distributions of the diameters of these parts is known to be normal with a mean of 9.0 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. If a component is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be defective? Q: Do I add the Right and Left tails and that's my total probability of defectiveness? Or, Do I take the Normal.Dist (from Excel) to the left of 10.5 minus the N.D left of 8 for a total of .588852 probability that it will be defective (that's a lot)? Please help! And, thank you in advance!
