Suppose that the life span of a new calculator is normally distributed with mean 54.4 months and standard deviation 8.2 months. • The company guarantees that any calculator that starts malfunctioning within 36 months of the purchase will be replaced by a new one. What percentage of calculators manufactured by this company are expected to be replaced? • A random sample of 50 calculators is selected. What is the probability that the average lifespan of the calculators in this sample will be greater than 54 months?

The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
