Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 65 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 65 tons and standard deviation ? = 1.7 ton.

Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 62 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean ? = 62 tons and standard deviation ? = 0.5 ton.
