3. An airline has a baggage weight limit of 50 lb. Suppose that the weight of the baggage checked by an individual passenger is a random variable x with a mean value of 49 lb. If 110 passengers will board a flight, what is the approximate probability that the mean weight for this sample of passengers will exceed the limit if the standard deviation of the baggage weight for this group is 23 lb. ?

In a study of life expectancy in a certain region, the mean age at death was 70 years, and the standard deviation was 5 years. The life expectancy (years) is assumed to follow a skewed distribution. Suppose that a random sample of 45 people from this region is selected. The mean life expectancy (years) of the sample is considered a random variable. What is its standard error? 0.5976 O 2.2361 O 5.2341 O 0.1111

According to R.L.Polk & Co., the average age of cars and light trucks in the US in 2011 was 10.8 years. Assume that the standard deviation for this population is 3.7 years. A sample of 35 randomly selected vehicles was selected. What is the probability that the sample mean will be greater that 10 years? O a 0.9846 Ob 0.7812 Oc. 0.8997 Od 0.5469
A population has an average of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. If a random sample of size 64 is drawn from this population, what is the probability that the sample mean is: Question 9 Greater than 52? Your answer should be in percent (between 0 and 100) and keep two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 13%, enter 13.00.
