The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.95 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 55 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.9 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this pill for a random sample of 55 individuals will be 1.9 pounds or less? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

The photoresist thickness of wafers in semiconductor manufacturing has a mean of 10.6 micrometers and a standard deviation of 1.3 micrometers. An engineer takes a sample of 50 wafers once a week and calculates the mean thickness of these wafers. If the mean of this sample is either less than 10.41 micrometers or greater than 10.79 micrometers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment. The probability that, based on a sample of 50 wafers, the engineer will conclude that the machine needs an adjustment is: O 0.6970 O 0.1091 O 0.3030 O 0.2522 O 0.1506
