The average prison sentence for a person convicted of second-degree murder is 14 years. If the sentences are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.3 years, find these probabilities: A prison sentence is less than 16 years. A prison sentence is greater than 18 years A prison sentence is between 16 and 18 years A prison sentence is between 12 and 17 years

A door-to-door salesperson is visiting houses in Hamilton to sell internet plans. The probability that a house decides to buy the internet plan is 25%. The salesperson visits 100 houses. Using normal approximation, determine the mean, standard deviation, and probability that less than 30 houses buy the internet plan.
If n=7 (days in a week) and p=0.45 (the probability that the food truck operates on a single day), determine the theoretical mean and standard deviation for the number of days open in a week. Use Excel and the information given in part above (n=7, p=.45) to determine the probability that the number of days open in a week is 5 days.
Time to Complete Final Exam. The time needed to complete a final examination in a particular college course is normally distributed with a mean of 80 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Answer the following questions. Assume that 20% of students did not complete the exam. What was the exam duration?
The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. a. A wife claimed to have given birth 308 days after a brief visit from her husband, who was serving in the Navy. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 308 days or longer. b. A baby is premature if the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature. Must use Excel to solve! To translate/copy the numbers ONLY is ok. You CANNOT copy the entire question onto Excel. Otherwise, 10% penalty will apply! Search SAMSUNG

Accrotime is a manufacturer of quartz crystal watches. Accrotime researchers have shown that the watches have an average life of 36 months before certain electronic components deteriorate, causing the watch to become unreliable. The standard deviation of watch lifetimes is 4 months, and the distribution of lifetimes is normal.
