The Everest Mountaineering Academy trains a large number of enthusiasts in basic climbing skills. The weights of all the applicants of the training program is known to follow a normal distribution with a mean of 89 kg and a standard deviation of 15 kg. One of the admission requirements is to weigh in between 60 kg and 92 kg, since health complications ofent arise otherwise. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant will not satisfy the weight requirements? Musa is trying to gain some weight before joining the training program. His goal is to be among the top 17.54% of the accepted weight range. What should his minimum weight be for him to reach his goal?

According to a survey, the average weight of NFL players is 254 lbs. with a standard deviation of 44 lbs., find the probability that a group of 49 randomly selected NFL players will have an average weight less than 265 lbs
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 159 lb and a standard deviation of 32.6 lb. If 34 different pilots are randomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb the probability is approximately
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lb and a standard deviation of 34.9 lb a. If a pilot is randomly selected find the probability that his weight is between 130 lb and 191 lb.
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 120 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 129 lb and a standard deviation of 27.3 lb. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 120 lb and 181 lb. The probability is approximately nothing
The mean height of men in the US (ages 20-29) is 69.6 inches with a standard deviation of 4 inches. If a random sample of 36 men is chosen from this age group, what is the probability that a sample mean height is less than 70 inches?
At a physical therapy center doctors work with patients to develop an exercise treatment plan to combat injuries. Assume that the time spent doing pool exercises per week has an unknown distribution with a mean of 4.5 hours and the standard deviation of 0.9 hours. A doctor believes most patients at the physical therapy center swim more per week. If the doctor randomly selects 32 physical therapy patients find the probability that the average time spent swimming is over 4.7 hours.
A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?
According to College Board, the average out-of-state tuition for a four-year public college was $8,893 for the 2013-2014 academic year. There are a total of 629 four-year public institutions in the U.S. Assume that the standard deviation for the tuition for these colleges is $950. A random sample of 60 four-year public colleges was selected. What is the probability that the average tuition from this sample is less than $9,000?
The weight of a standard poodle is 50 pounds with a standard deviation of 15 pounds. If a poodle is underweight, they can have some very serious health issues, so it is important to get them seen by a vet if they are underweight. If a vet suspects that they are underweight, they will put them on a special food diet that will help them gain weight. A veterinarian medicine researcher has developed a new weight gain diet food and is conducting a completely randomized design. She puts 12 underweight poodles in the treatment group and 12 underweight poodles in the control group. The treatment group gets the new weight gain diet food while the control group gets the current weight gain diet food. At the end of the study, the weight gain in the treatment group was 12 pounds with a standard deviation of 3 pounds, and the weight gain in the control group was 8 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds. Which of the following intervals successfully captures the p-value? (A) Below 0.01 (B)…
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and 181 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 137 lb and a standard deviation of 34.8 lb. if 35 different pilot are randomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is between 130 lb and 181 lb
In 2014, the per capita consumption of soft drinks in the United States was reported to be 42.1 gallons. Assume that the per capita consumption of soft drinks in the United States is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 42.1 gallons and a standard deviation of 13 gallons. 1) What is the probability that someone in the United States consumed more than 60 gallons of soft drinks in 2014? 2) What is the probability that someone in the United States consumed between 15 and 30 gallons of soft drinks in 2014? 3) Ninety-five percent of the people in the United States consumed less than how many gallons of soft drinks?
The 3-point shooter star of your favourite team usually attempts six 3-point shots in a basketball game. The team record shows that the shooter makes 25% of all 3-point shots attempted in a game. Assuming that the shots are independent of each other,what is probability that the star will make shots at least 1.25 standard deviation more than the expected?
