Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of 18 and 24 have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of 114.8 with a standard deviation of 13.1. Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of 18 to 24 follow a normal distribution. a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than 128
The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.75 and standard deviations 0.50. What us probability of acid rain
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

A manufacturing process is designed to produce bolts with a 0.25-inch diameter. Once each day, a random sample of 36 bolts is selected and the bolt diameters recorded. If the resulting sample mean is less than 0.230 inches or greater than 0.270 inches, the process is shut down for adjustment. The standard deviation for diameter is 0.04 inches. What is the probability that the manufacturing line will be shut down unnecessarily? (Hint: Find the probability of observing an x in the shutdown range when the true process mean really is 0.25 inches. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The photoresist thickness of wafers in semiconductor manufacturing has a mean of 10.6 micrometers and a standard deviation of 1.3 micrometers. An engineer takes a sample of 50 wafers once a week and calculates the mean thickness of these wafers. If the mean of this sample is either less than 10.41 micrometers or greater than 10.79 micrometers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment. The probability that, based on a sample of 50 wafers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment is: O 0.6970 O 0.1091 O 0.3030 O 0.2522 O 0.1506
