The average age of doctors in a certain hospital is 46.0 years old. Suppose the distribution of ages is normal and has a standard deviation of 10.0 years. If 16 doctors are chosen at random for a committee, find the probability that the average age of those doctors is less than 47.8 years. Assume that the variable is normally distributed.

An apple producer sells their product in bags that each contain 16 apples. These apples have a mean weight of 80 grams and a standard deviation of 5 grams. Suppose that each bag represents an SRS of apples, and you calculate the mean weight of the apples in each bag. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x. A survey of attendance records shows that high school seniors average 10.5 sick days per school year with a standard deviation of 5.25 days. In an effort to reduce the number of absences, a high school principal offers $50 to each senior who has perfect attendance for the school year. The principal asks for $500 from the school board to fund his idea. If there are 350 students in the senior class, will he have enough money? Provide mathematical reasoning to defend your answer.
A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region is approximately normal with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 3 ounces. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the southern region is approximately normal with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 2.5 ounces. Is it more likely that a bird of this type with a weight greater than L3 ounces lives in the northern region or the southerm region? Justifly your answer.
The incubation time for Rhode Island Red chicks has a Normal distribution with a mean of 21 days and standard deviation of 1 day (World Book Encyclopedia). If 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch: In 19 to 23 days?
Suppose that the lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of269 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0, and the sample mean is 73. What is the test-statistic in this sample? Group of answer choices 5.477 1.000 30.000 5.385

Speeds of cars in an expressway are monitored by high-speed camera units. The minimum speed of cars in the expressway is 60 kph and the maximum speed is 100 kph. Cars going below the minimum, or going above the maximum, are apprehended. Suppose that speed of the cars on the expressway are normally distributed with a mean of 75kph and a standard deviation of 10 kph. What percentage of the cars travelling on the expressway will not be apprehended? Note: Write your answer as percentage with two decimal places (i.e. 87.26%).
A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 62.3inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20s are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.25inches. If the mean height today is the same as that of a half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of 29of today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least 63.41 inches?
