Suppose the manufacturer’s specifications for the length of a certain type of computer cable are 1000 ± 10 millimeters. It is known that a small cable is just as likely to be defective as a large cable. That is, the probability of randomly producing a cable with a length exceeding 1010 millimeters is equal to the probability of producing a cable with a length smaller than

The contents of a soda can holds an approximate and normally distributed mean of μ= 10 oz with standard deviation σ= 0.38 oz. A random sample of 26 cans is selected. Let x̅ be the sample mean of the contents. Find the probability that... a) x̅ exceeds 10.2 oz. b) x̅ is between 9.9 oz and 10.1 oz.
Suppose that passengers on flights average 185 pounds and that those weights have a standard deviation of 50 pounds. Consider a simple random sample of 162 passengers (the capacity of a Boeing 737 with a two-class configuration). a. Find the probability that the average weight of the 162 passengers is under 190. b. Consider part a but for a simple random sample of 5 such passengers. Under what condition could you use the same method to compute that probability? Dio you think this condition is satisfied? Explain.
Given that μ is $350 and σ is $150 calculate the z-score of 343.31 and then find the likelihood that a random sample of 2597 adult American shoppers would spend $343.31 or less on Christmas. Now assume that μ is $340 and that σ remains $150. Find the likelihood that in this case, a random sample of 2597 adult American shoppers would spend $342.31 or more on Christmas.

Suppose that the weights of people who work in an office building are normally distributed with a mean of u = 165 Ib. and a standard deviation of o = 25 lb. What is the chance that the total weight of 5 people is more than 1000 Ibs., i.e., what is P(X1+ ... + X5 > 1000)? [Hint: try to express this as an X-style problem.
