Let X and Y denote the weights (in grams) of apples which are imported from two different locations: Peshawar (Pakistan) and Zanzibar (Tanzania), respectively. Suppose that X has Normal distribution N(148, 3); and Y has Normal distribution N(151,4). One apple is randomly selected from each city. We assume independence between X and Y. • [(a)] Find the probability that the weight of the apple from Peshawar exceeds the weight of the one from Zanzibar [(b)] A random sample of 36 apples is selected from those imported from Peshawar. Compute the probability that their sample mean will fall between 150 and 152. Paràgraph BIEE

Suppose the time it takes my daugther, Lizzie, to eat an apple is uniformly distributed between 6 and 10 minutes. Let X = the time, in minutes, it takes Lizzie to eat an apple. What is the probability that it takes Lizzie more than 11 minutes to finish the next apple? What is the probability that it takes Lizzie at least 7.2 minutes to finish the next apple? What is the probability that it takes Lizzie fewer than 6.3 minutes or more than 8 minutes to finish the next apple?

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.2380.238. Suppose that Lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size ?=500n=500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the United States. Apply the central limit theorem to find the probability that the number of individuals, ?,X, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 126126. You may find table of critical values helpful. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places. Then, Apply the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution to find the probability that the number of individuals in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is less than 9898. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.
