The mean height of women in a country (ages 20-29) is 64.3 inches. A random sample of 70 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches? Assume o = 2.86. The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
The average student loan debt for college graduates is $25,750. Suppose that that distribution is normal and that the standard deviation is $10,350. Let X = the student loan debt of a randomly selected college graduate. Round all probabilities to 4 decimal places and all dollar answers to the nearest dollar. Find the probability that the college graduate has between $22,700 and $30,000 in student loan debt. (------) The middle 20% of college graduates' loan debt lies between what two numbers? Low: $(______) High: $(_____)

What is the probability that the total of two randomly chosen numbers exceeds 3, where the first number is chosen from a uniform distribution between 0 and 2, and the second number is selected from an exponential distribution with a mean of 1?
Suppose that the only information you have is that in the last 90 days a total of 27,000 students visited. Can you say anything about the probability that more than 500 students visit on a given day? Suppose that you got some additional information saying that the standard deviation of students visiting per day is 50 students. Can you say anything more precise about the probability that more than 500 students visit on a given day?
The number of automobile sold weekly at a certain dealership is a random variable with expected value 16.Give an upper bound to the probability that the next week sales exceed 18.
Suppose the horses in a large stable have a mean weight of 873lbs, and variance of 17,161. What is the probability that the mean weight of the sample of horses would differ from the population mean by less than 15lbs if 50 horses are sampled at random from the stable? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Suppose that from the past experience a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a random variable with mean 61 and a standard deviation 8.5. how many students would have to take the examination to ensure, with probability at least 0.94, that the class average would be within 3 of 61?
The average number of shoppers at a particular grocery store in one day is 505, and the standard deviation is 115. The number of shoppers is normally distributed. For a random day, what is the probability that there are between 200 and 400 shoppers at the grocery store? The answer should be typed as a decimal with 4 decimal places.
The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with mean = 40 and o=4. What is the probability that starting with this year, it will take more than 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of more than 50 inches? What assumption are you making?
Suppose that the test score of a student taking the final of a probability course is a random variable with mean 67.9. (a) Give an upper bound for the probability (in three decimal places) that the student's test score will exceed 95. Answer:
Consider the probability that more than 43 out of 130 people have been in a car accident. Assume the probability that a given person has been in a car accident is 97% Specify whether the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions.
