The cholesterol content of large chicken eggs is normally distributed with a mean of 200 mg and standard deviation 36 mg. Suppose it is reasonable to consider a carton of 12 large eggs as a simple random sample from all large chicken eggs. What is the probability that the cholesterol content in a randomly selected large egg is between 190 and 220 mg?

The cost of unleaded gasoline in San Francisco once followed an unknown distribution with a mean of $4.59 and a standard deviation of $0.10. Sixteen gas stations from San Francisco are randomly chosen. We are interested in the average cost of gasoline for the 16 gas stations. What's the approximate probability that the average price for 16 gas stations is over $4.69?
The term "Freshman 15" refers to the claim that college students typically gain 15 lb during their freshman year at college. Assume that the amounts of weight that male college students gain during their freshman year are normally distributed with a mean of 2.7 lb and a standard deviation of 11.4 lb. Find the probability that a randomly selected male college student gains 15 lb or more during his freshman year. What does the result suggest about the claim of the "Freshman 15"? ... The percentage of freshmen that gain 15 pounds or more in their first year of university is %. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 37 randomly selected people who train in groups, and finds that they run a mean of 47.7 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 3.3 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 49 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 49.4 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 4.4 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
The weights of Australian Cattle Dogs are normally distributed with a mean of 25 kg and a standard deviation of 4 kg. What is the probability (%) that a randomly selected dog weighs between 23 kg and 32 kg?
Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
The term "Freshman 15" refers to the claim that college students typically gain 15 lb during their freshman year at college.

Suppose that the diameters of oak trees are normally distributed with a mean of 4.000 feet and a standard deviation of 0.375 feet. What is the probability of sampling a set of 87 oak trees and finding their mean to differ from the population mean by less than 0.1 feet in diameter? Your answer should be from the cumulative normal distribution table.
