My bus is scheduled to depart at noon. However, we're in Randomland, and this means the departure time varies randomly with average departure time 12 o'clock and a standard deviation of 6 minutes. Assume the departure time is normally distributed. If I get to the bus stop 5 minutes past noon, what is the probability that the bus has not yet departed?

A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.

A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.
