Given a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 10, find the area under the normal curve from the mean to 112.9.
Records indicate that the mean weight of mature rainbow trout in Eagle Creek is 1.75 kg with a standard deviation of 0.33 kg. After years of marked oxygen depletion from pollutants in the creek, a biologist wants to see if the standard deviation, o, of weights has changed. The biologist measures the weights of 20 randomly chosen mature rainbow trout from the creek and finds that the sample standard deviation is 0.38 kg. Assume the current weights of mature rainbow trout in the creek follow a normal distribution. Does the biologist have sufficient evidence to conclude that the population standard deviation, o, differs from 0.33 kg? To answer, complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test. Use the 0.10 level of significance.

The height of an 8th grader is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 59.1 in and the standard deviation is 1.2 in. In the figure, Vis a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W.

Tree-ring dates were used extensively in archaeological studies at Burnt Mesa Pueblo. At one site on the mesa, tree-ring dates (for many samples) gave a mean date of μ₁ = year 1259 with standard deviation ₁ = 35 years. At a second, removed site, the tree-ring dates gave a mean of μ₂ = year 1101 with standard deviation ₂ = 35 years. Assume that both sites had dates that were approximately normally distributed. In the first area, an object was found and dated as x₁ = year 1202. In the second area, another object was found and dated as x₂ = year 1246.
