The average tip percentage at a restaurant is 16% with a standard deviation of 2%. Suppose we wanted to know the probability that the average tip of 20 bills is higher than 16%. Can we complete the problem? Yes the probability is 0.5 since half of the area is to the right. No we do not know if the tip distribution is normal

The Michelin tires in average will last for 60000 miles. A technician claims that the deviation of mileage for wearied off tires is 25000 miles. If 16 such tires are tested, find the probability that for those tires the average wearied off mileage is between 55000 and 65000 miles.
Karl Pearson developed a measure that describes the skewness of a distribution, called the coefficient of skewness. The formula is Skewness = 3 (mean-median)/standard deviation. The value of this measure generally lies between -3 and +3. The closer the value lies to -3, the more the distribution is skewed left. The closer the value lies to +3, the more the distribution is skewed right. A value close to 0 indicates a symmetric distribution. Find the coefficient of skewness of the following distributions and comment on the skewness. Compute the coefficient of skewness for the data in Problem 25 Problem 25 data: The following data (see photo) represent the weights (in grams) of random sample of 50 M&M plain candies.
