Let X1 and X2 be two independent random variables having Gaussian (normal) distribution with means E[X1] = 30 and E[X2] = 20. respectively, and Var[X1] =9 and Var[X2] = 16. respectively. Then the probability that X1- X2 assume values smaller than 15 (approx to the second digit after the dot) is equal to: a) 0.84 (b) 0.16 (c) 0.68

Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean u = 57.0 kg and standard deviation o = 7.9 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 48 kg is considered undernourished. (a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) If the park has about 2350 does, what number do you expect to be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) does (c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 55 does should be more than 54 kg. If the average weight is less than 54 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average welght x for a random sample of 55 does is less than…

Many people believe that the daily change in price of a company's stock in the stock market is a random variable with mean 0 and variance o² during the middle 2 months between 2 earning report dates when there is not much news released. That is, if Yn represents the closing price of the stock on the nth trading day of that period, then Yn = Yn-1+Xn, for 1 ≤ n ≤ 60, where X₁, X2,..., X60 are independent and identically distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance o². Suppose that the stock price at the beginning of the 2-month period is 100. If o = 2, what is the approximate probability that the stock's closing price on the 30th trading day will exceed 110, i.e., what is P(Y30 > 110)
