Suppose that in a certain large city, the mean 100 meter dash time for male high school seniors was reported to be 13.3 seconds with a standard deviation of 1.9 seconds. We may assume that the population is normally distributed. c) What is the probability that 35 male high school seniors selected at random will have a mean 100 meter dash time between 13 seconds and 14 seconds?

A farmer was interested in determining how many grasshoppers were in his field. He knows that the distribution of grasshoppers may not be normally distributed in his field due to growing conditions. As he drives his tractor down each row he counts how many grasshoppers he sees flying away. After several rows he figures the mean number of flights to be 57 with a standard deviation of 12. What is the probability of the farmer will count 60 or more flights on average in the next 40 rows down which he drives his tractor? Round to four decimal places.
