Suppose that among salmon fish that are longer than 80cm, their weights have a mean of 6.4kg and a standard deviation of 0.5kg. The wholesale price per kg for these salmon fish is $9.46. The fishing company supplies freshly caught salmon to a local restaurant. The restaurant just placed an order for 120 salmon fish. If the fishing company randomly selects 120 salmon that are longer than 80cm for the restaurant, find the probability that the total wholesale price of the 120 salmon exceeds $7,350.

A ski lift states a maximum capacity is 12 people or 2004lb. A worst-case scenario would be 12 adult male passengers since they tend to be heavier verse women and children. Assume adult male weights are normally distributed with a mean of 188.6 lb and a standard deviation of 38.9 lb. A. If 12 men weighed exactly 2004 lb, what would be the average weight? B. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. C. Find the probability that a single man will have a weight greater than your result from A. Does the ski lift appear to have the correct weight limit from these results?
