Question 1: A paper manufacturer wishes to check the quality of the papers. Assume that the strength measurements are normally distributed with a mean equal to 19 pounds and standard deviation equal to 3 pounds. a) If we randomly select 13 papers, what is the probability that the average strength is less than 18 pounds per square inch? b) How many percent of papers have strength more than 23 pounds per square inch? c) Find the strength measurements the represents the third quartile?

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 142 lb, the boat was rated to carry 60 passengers (so the load limit was 8,520 lb). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 142 lb to 171 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 60 passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 178.5 lb and a standard deviation of 36.9 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 60 passengers have a mean weight greater than 142 lb. The probability is 1.000. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) C.. b. The boat was later rated to carry only 13 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,223 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 171 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,223 lb). The probability is. (Round to four decimal…
